Why?  What such large change is for?

Note that currently config variables are grouped by functionality: for
example core.eol and core.safecrlf, or core.compression and
core.loosecompression are close to each other.

I like the fact that we have first advice.*, then core.*, then mostly
alphabetically sorted rest of configuration variables.

This change has nothing to do with ordering variables alphabetically,
therefore IMHO it belongs in separate patch.
