"git config -l core.\*" will just die without limiting the output to
everything under core. hierarchy, so you are right---the combination
does not make any sense.  You have to say

    git config -l | grep ^core\\.

or something like that.

Completing "git config -l --lo<TAB>" still may help, though.
