I'm not sure I understand the original poster's point about "git config
-l --local". "-l" does not take a limiter, does it?

"git config -l core.\*" will just die without limiting the output to
everything under core. hierarchy, so you are right---the combination
does not make any sense.  You have to say

    git config -l | grep ^core\\.

or something like that.

Completing "git config -l --lo<TAB>" still may help, though.

Ah, I think I see Dasa's original point now. He was interested in fixing
"--lo<TAB>" to complete "--local". But the line he pointed to in his
original message is not the right place for that; it is the site of an
unrelated spot which should _also_ be fixed to use "--local", but for a
different reason (restricting the variables suggested for "--local --get
<TAB>" properly).

So yeah. Matthieu's patch is the right thing to do, as it covers both
(mine fixed only half of it).
