I do not think it is unreasonable to add repo-config to feature
removal schedule in 1.5.4 release notes.  Perhaps something like...

+ * "git repo-config", which was an old name for "git config" command,
+   has been supported without being advertised for a long time.  The
+   next feature release will remove it.

Seems fine to me. Does it need to be put in command-list.txt for the time being too, or what all is that file used for? Sorry I am not familiar.

Something like:

git-repo-config                       ancillarymanipulators	deprecated

Technically, you are right, but somehow it feels backwards.

We stopped advertising the existence of the command in v1.5.0,
and adding it to the list now would mean we need to add a new
git-repo-config manual page that says "This is deprecated, use
git-config instead".

This comment was wrong.  We can keep the existing repo-config
documentation that has deprecation notice, and add the above
line to the list.

Sorry about the confusion.
