But I do not think the "tentative shell function" trick is
necessary.  I personally think it is oversold ;-)  For this
particular one,

    [credential]
        helper = !echo \"password=`cat $HOME/.secret`\"

should be sufficient, perhaps?  You do not even need to understand
how shell functions work to understand it.

That will print:

  password=your-password get

See the patches I just sent for a better example. :)

Also, "git config" indents the "var = value" lines, so it would look
more natural if we indented our examples in a similar way.

We do earlier, too.

I can re-indent the patches I just set, but I'll hold off on sending in
case you have any other comment.
