A few configuration variable names of Git are composite words. References to such variables in manpages are hard to read because they use all-lowercase names, without indicating where each word ends and begins.

Improve its readability by using camelCase instead. Git treats these names case-insensitively so this does not affect functionality. This also ensures consistency with other parts of the docs that use camelCase fo refer to configuration variable names.
