Hmph. I wondered why you were confused about this the other day, when I checked my Documentation/git-config.txt and found that yes, we do indeed document this behavior. I did not realize then that my patch from: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/262641 was never picked up (but of course I've been carrying it in my tree for a year). I guess maybe you found it, given the similarity of the wording. I mildly prefer the wording and formatting of my original, but I am OK either way. :) -Peff
