Hello all,
I recently noticed that when I run 'git config' with the '--remove
<non_existing_section>' I get a warning that section doesn't exist.
When I scrolled through the man page of git-config I could see any
mention about the '--remove' option. I only see that there is a '
--remove-section' option. Sample output,
> $ git config --remove test
> fatal: No such section!
> $ git config --remove-section test
> fatal: No such section!
Is this a bug (or) is the documentation stale ?

Neither, I would say. I think that you would get exactly the same
behaviour from
$ git config --remo test
$ git config --remove-sec test
These are merely "unique prefix can be abbreviated in option names"
kicking in, I think.

Interesting. This is the first time I'm hearing this.
