You may have started this work for tab completion, but I think you
should describe it as adding missing documentation (this comment
extends to the title of the patch, too).  The work to teach "tab
completion" about the variables "git config" can take has done long
time ago, and the work by this patch to add description for
<include> and <includeIf> is used as an input to that previous work,
which results in "git config inc<TAB>" to be command line completed.

The order of these two is backwards, no?  Ævar may have written
something that inspire you to arrive at this version, which you
signed off before sending it out.

Losing the extra blank line will make it clearer, if your intention
is that the next lines apply to both of the above two.

Thanks.
