Bug: config.yml removing (some) commented out settings

See original GitHub issue

Probably related to #363

Describe the Bug If I want to run things quickly for a test, I’ll do something like this to my config.yml

libraries:
  Shows:
    metadata_path:
      # - folder: config/shows/quickfixes
      # - folder: config/shows/series
      # - folder: config/shows/collections
      - folder: config/shows
  # Movies:
  #   metadata_path:
  #     - folder: config/movies/quickfixes
  #     - folder: config/movies/collections
  #     - folder: config/movies
  # Music Videos:
  #   metadata_path:
  #     - folder: config/music-videos/artists
  #     - folder: config/music-videos
settings:

after being run, it deleted my movies and music videos sections, but left the commented out sections under the shows library

  Shows:
    metadata_path:

      # - folder: config/shows/series

PMM never overwrites the metadata files it only overwrites the config.yml file

My mistake - this occurred in the config file and I just remembered incorrectly. Thanks for the tip on avoiding the issue in the future, and thanks for all the work you’re putting into PMM.
