[PATCH] Document disabling core.whitespace values trailing-space and space-before-tab

 From http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/68146 I got
the syntax that works:

git config core.whitespace "-trailing-space"

Is it me, or is this not readable from git help config which says:

A comma separated list of common whitespace problems to notice.  git 
diff will use color.diff.whitespace to highlight them, and git apply 
--whitespace=error will consider them as errors:

·   trailing-space treats trailing whitespaces at the end of the line
as an error (enabled by default).

The '-trailing-space' syntax to disable the trailing-space setting is 
not obvious and not documented as far as I can see. I would have assumed 
a value of '' would disable it.

Is there a documentation bug here? If so, I suggest this patch. I didn't 
find anywhere else where the '-setting' syntax was used to disable 
something.

My first-ever git patch is attached, because Thunderbird messes up due 
to wrapping. I realize that SubmittingPatches has a mini-guide for 
reconfiguring Thunderbird (ver 1!), but I really prefer not to have to 
add extensions and reconfigure Thunderbird to send patches. (Comments to 
this and how the patch was made are welcome and encouraged)
