By the way, was the pager configured to saner values, so "git diff"
on a repository with no changes does not output empty page?

That's been set to the right way since commit 0abc0260 (October
22, 2006, v1.4.3.2~6) as far as I know.

What about my Documentation/config.txt changes?

I was not sure about that one, given a lot of commentary in your
message, suggesting more research and revision is needed, like
these...

+All the other lines are recognized as setting variables, in the form
+'name = value'. If there is no equal sign on the line, the entire line
+is taken as 'name' and the variable is recognized as boolean "true".
+Variable names are case insensitive.

They cannot contain anything else than alphanumeric characters, in 
particular no whitespace.

It is mentioned above "Syntax" section, but perhaps it should be repeated.
I haven't took a look at code to check what values for section names and
for key/variable names are allowed.

One thing that left me puzzled after reading the description was
what a user can do with "subsection".  It is unclear from the
description if [section "sub.section"], [section "sub.sec=ti.on"]
or worse yet, [section "sub\nsection with an embbedded LF"] are
allowed.  The rest seemed sane.

I'm not sure what is allowed in section name, and in subsection name,
so for now I have left it as is. I can amend this commit, or add new
commit explaining this.
