This description makes the readers expect that the configuration variable is a boolean, and setting it to 'no' would disable the feature, but ...

... without --type=bool, any boolean 'false' value that is not exactly spelled 'false' won't be normalized and fail this test.

I haven't read the remaining 2 patches, so I cannot yet tell if I can just insert "--type=bool" here and everything would be fine, or if there are other fallouts for doing so.

As a new feature, this should work with the tip of 'master', but I think the t7610 test forces the initial branch name to be 'main'.

I'll tweak locally while queuing.
