Support git config

[nkoterba]

First, excellent gulp plugin! Really helpful and useful so thanks for your effort.

Second, is it possible to add support for 'git config' to the plugin?

Here's the git man page for it: http://git-scm.com/docs/git-config

Here's an example of how it could be used:

git.config({args: 'core.sparsecheckout true'}, function (err) {
        if (err) throw err;
    });

Thanks, adding more non-file based git commands would create a much harder to manage massive plugin. This goes against gulp guidelines.

Referring to #56, use the git.exec function: https://github.com/stevelacy/gulp-git/blob/master/lib/exec.js

@stevelacy Ok. Thanks for the info! I searched the issues for 'config' and nothing came up so I created this one. In the end, I resulted to using node.process_child.exec which it looks like git.exec does internally. I missed the git.exec as it was down the page and past the 'init' documentation section which is where I was looking to setup the git repo after the 'init' call.

Ah, yes it is rather hard to notice.

I 'd like push a PR to do this.

const git = require('gulp-git')({
  cwd: '~/work/git/gulp-git/', // cwd of child process
  pager: false,                // `--no-pager` from `git`.
  config: {                    // `-c` from `git`, key-value pairs
    "core.sparsecheckout": true,
    "user.email": "[email protected]",
    "user.name": "Your Name",
  }
});

git.commit(...);

I do not want to increase the API of this project.
