... or with 'git -c http.sslCipherList <cmd>' on the command line (but I don't think it should be mentioned here that a config variable from a config file can be overridden via 'git -c', because that's true for all config variables anyway).

However, speaking of command line, could you please add this new config variable to the completion script (contrib/completion/git-completion.bash, somewhere around line 2120)? Thanks.
