I agree that they definitely need documenting.

As for renaming them and/or changing their types, that's probably a good idea too. And once they are documented, we could e.g. rename and only mention the new name in the docs, but keep the old name as well for backward compatibility.

One interesting twist would be to fix StGit's config parser so that it can automatically generate a man page listing all the config options it recognizes. It needs updating anyway for other reasons (I believe it still calls git-config several times instead of just once), and this could be done at the same time.
