section, did not mentioned that this value can also be set using the
--git-dir command line option.

	Unlike other environment variables (e.g. GIT_WORK_TREE,
	GIT_NAMESPACE),

somewhere in the description.

Please sign-off your patch (see Documentation/SubmittingPatches).

I'm sorry, I just copied this text "as is" (I'm lazy) in the commit
message failing to notice the use of the tab character.

When I checked the patch email message, my editor rendered the tab
character as a single space...


That's the reason why I have all my editors configured to never ever use
tabs.
