From ConfigParser source code:

Continuations are represented by an embedded newline then
leading whitespace.

-Larry Bates

In case this is not clear enough (wasn't clear to me either, the first
time I saw it, what with talk of "continuations" in other contexts), it
basically means that the values for a config option can span multiple
lines. A line starting with whitespace is considered to be a
"continuation" of the previous line.
