Thanks for hacking on this. A couple of things:
* Most things (but not all) that configure `git whatevs --some-option`
are configurable via whatevs.someOption, I think this should follow
that convention. I.e. be push.forceWithLease not
push.alwaysForceWithLease.
See my
https://public-inbox.org/git/20170324231013.23346-1-avarab@gmail.com/
patch series for something that went through many of these cases
(although I see I didn't send it all to list). Anyway, something like
8/10 of our config variables for switches follow that
convention. Let's use it for new config.
* It makes sense to also document this the git-push manpage. See
e.g. how we document --follow-tags:
Push all the refs that [...] This can also be specified with
configuration variable push.followTags. For more information, see
push.followTags in git-config(1).
You should add something like that to --force-with-lease.

Semantically this makes sense, and is exactly how most of these switch
config variables work (and would be how it worked once refactored with
my CLI arg config patch).
