Pacman assumes that the final character of a line specifing a repo
in pacman.conf is a "]". But it did not clean whitespace from the
line after removing any comments. So lines like:

[allanbrokeit] # could break system

caused pacman not to recognize the repo. Adjust config parsing to
strip comments before trimming whitespace from the end of the string.
