Thanks for the clarification. I was once searching 
Documentation/SubmittingPatches
to see if there is any guideline about the tense to use. Unfortunately, 
this seems to
be an undocumented guideline. Fixed it.

My little nit: I don't think this is really the a "current behaviour of 
*Git*". It's just
a document, you see ;-)

Thanks for providing the solution, also. Used it with a little tweak.

Yes.

Thanks.

You're welcome. Just for the note, I sent this because I had a hard time 
finding
the words that made up those config variable names when reading that part of
the 'git branch' documentation. I thought I could help a little in 
improving it.
