Hmm, I sort of take that back. In git-config.1, it looks not-too-bad, but in git-rebase.1, this item runs into the next one (sequence.editor) and messes with it, like so:

  rebase.forkPoint: If set to false set --no-fork-point option by
  default. sequence.editor:: Text editor used by git rebase -i for
  editing the rebase instruction file. The value is meant to be
  interpreted by the shell when it is used. It can be overridden by the
  GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR environment variable. When not configured the
  default commit message editor is used instead.
