With a weaker phrase, e.g. "These configuration variables may be of
interest", such a list may not hurt readers, but personally I do not
think it adds much value to have a list of variables without even a
single line description of what each is used for.
Okay.  Does this work?
Hrm, is it useful without even a single line description of what
each is used for?

Besides, how does it appear in the formatted documents?  A thick
paragraph that lists names of variables enumerated without comma in
between?

Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/git-push: add a configuration variables
 section

The list of configuration variables that affect the operation of a git
command can often be hard to find.  As a first step, add a
"Configuration variables" section to git-push.  The intent is to
create similar sections in all manpages.
