The name of the configuration variable was mentioned only at the very end of the explanation, in a place specific to a specific rule, hence it was not very clear what the specification was about.
Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> --- Added "and others" with a link to git-config(1), for completeness.
