In my config files which I inherited from someone else, there is an
entry for "url" as well as for "path" under [merge] et al.

I can't find that mentioned in the git-config manual.  Is that really
used?

What is "et al." in this case? [mergetool]?

No.

There is remote.<name>.url, mergetool.<name>.path
There is no merge.url, merge.path, mergetool.<name>.url

Can the git-config document be relied on to be complete and up to date?
Any tool can simply claim any variables it likes.  I tried sifting
through the source code, but it's not easy to identify a complete set.

That would be rather unrealistic, but I think it's pretty good. The
above mentioned config options for example are included there :)
The options in the sendemail.* namespace for another example are only
mentioned in the git-send-email doc.
