Btw, one thing I don't like about "git-repo-config" is the name. Many people thought "git init-db" was confusing, and now we call it just "git init". Can I vote for doing that for "git repo-config" too? Is there something wrong with just calling it "git config"? Especially as it's not even repo-specific. Use "--global", and it has almost nothing at all to do with the particular "repo" you're working with. What would also mean that we'd have the man-page with a simple man git-config which makes tons of sense if it documents both the config file *and* the "git config" program. Or is that too sneaky?
