Does 'git config' accept the '--remove' option?

Hello all,

I recently noticed that when I run 'git config' with the '--remove <non_existing_section>' I get a warning that section doesn't exist. When I scrolled through the man page of git-config I could see any mention about the '--remove' option. I only see that there is a ' --remove-section' option. Sample output,

> $ git config --remove test
> fatal: No such section!
> $ git config --remove-section test
> fatal: No such section!
Is this a bug (or) is the documentation stale ?
