But you cannot write "help.autocorrect=1" and claim that it is correct. Your configuration file does not spell it that way, your command line to "git config" command would not take it.

The more awkward "in the conifguration file it looks that way" needs to be used when I need to write the variable with values.

Alternatively, I could say "setting help.autocorrect to 1 used to be....".
