Description
Steps to reproduce:
* Make sure `~/.git` does not exist
* Create ~/.config/git/config` with a least two includes, like so:
```ini
[include]
path = /path/to/1
path = /path/to/2
```
Run `git-repo config`, do the oauth dance.
Nothing is stored.
PS: I think this is a bug in the code that reads and writes git config. If I were you, I'll just run
`git config --get foo.bar` and `git config --global foo.bar 42` instead of using a re-implementation of git config parsing in Python.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by creating ~/.config/git/config with two include entries, ensuring ~/.git is absent, and running git-repo config through the OAuth flow. Trace the Python code that reads and writes Git configuration, then verify that the configuration is stored successfully when include statements are present.
