Based on the followup I think what makes sense is to continue with some
mixture of the two approaches--mainly editing the configuration file
directly, but providing frequent references to the
git-repo-config/git-config manpage so people know where to find the
details.

I've added a few more references to the manpage, along with a few other
updates, including an initial import of Linus's discussion of dangling
objects, and brief dicussions of reflogs, fsck, and pruning:
