Thanks.

I wonder if we want to stress the fact that this is about
rendering HTML version of the manual.  IOW, the <tool>.path
is about the path the chosen HTML renderer program is at, and
not consulted at all unless "git help -w help" is run.

Also, do we want to list the repertoire of <tool>?  Unlike
<name> in "remote.<name>.url" and "branch.<name>.remote", this
is not something the end user can arbitrarily name.

Incidentally, I notice that git-help manual page does not list
what browsers are supported (except that it hints that firefox
is usable by having an example "browser.firefox.path"), even
though it tells how the browser is picked via "*.browser".

It should be fixed in the following patch series.

Thanks,
Christian.
