This is like the fifth time you have asked, and for some reason, nobody
seems to have said yes or no. So I will go ahead and say: yes, I think
that is a fine idea.

I think there should also be some explanatory text that indicates they
are totally interchangeable for the rest of the document. Something
like: "When we show configuration in the rest of this document, we will
use format X [I think probably "git config $VAR $VALUE"]. But you can
use whichever method you are most comfortable with."
