It was already documented in RelNotes-1.6.0, but not in the git-config manual page.

That is a frequently asked question on #git (in the past, people asked how to disable it, now they ask how to enable it), so I thought an example can be helpful. Also Jeff provided such an example in the commit message of 4e10738.
If you think it's unnecessary, then just remove that hunk.

Fixed. I also noticed that above the documentation uses "Specify" and not "Specifies" in such a case, so I dropped the "s" here as well.
