I was just saying the 'git help config' should point to the `git help --config` command (extra `--`)
I then realised I ought to propose a patch, which is now in `next` ae578de926 (doc: config, tell readers of `git help --config`, 2021-09-13),
I should have added the wider cc list. https://lore.kernel.org/git/20210913212305.1832-1-philipoakley@iee.email/
