Sorry for being terse.  What I would prefer is no change to C
files except what is minimally needed to adding 'git-config' as
an alias to 'git-repo-config', plus s/repo-config/config/g in
the Documentation.

For Porcelains and test scripts shipped with git, replace
'repo-config' to 'config' only for actual strings used as
command names to be invoked, to play it safe (renaming a
variable 'repo_config' to 'config' needs to be done and verified
carefully as there may already be an existing variable 'config',
for example).
