"It would be nice if some day the config parser could learn" implies
"The config parser does not behave like this", no?
One problem with dashes in names of real configuration variables is
that most git multi-word configuration variables are already named
using InsignificantBumpyCaps, which means the user does not have to
remember where the word breaks are as language drifts (e.g., is it a
"file name" or a "filename"?). A convention of using dashes to
separate words would probably have been about as good, while
inconsistently sometimes using dashes and sometimes not would be far
worse.
Of course, the .git/sequencer/args file is not gitconfig, and changes
in its format are not as hard (since unlike for gitconfig, any
backward-compatibility synonyms probably do not need to be mentioned
in documentation). So I am not too worried and this was mostly an
aside.
