Thanks for your work!
I think the documentation updates need to be shared with tools
manpages, or at least they can point to this document for details.
This can be further work though. ;-)

I don't know why this is needed. The -a option won't need this and we
can support to get/set any number of config items IMHO.

I don't understand this. Why is the "-" so special?
And I think current behavior don't allow any argument. So what about this?
argc = parse_options(...);
if (argc)
usage_with_options(...);
if (params.all_action)
...

But doesn't it just print currently set items in a config file? I
guess -a/--all option should show this *AND* all possible config items
with default values. Current behavior can be done by -l/--list option
like git-config..
