```
Noticed that there were only tests for --int, but not
for --bool. Add some.

Subject: [PATCH] git-config: Correct asciidoc documentation for --int/--bool
Message-ID: <11796991782027-git-send-email-frank@lichtenheld.de>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/11796991782027-git-send-email-frank%40lichtenheld.de
In-Reply-To: <11796991783280-git-send-email-frank@lichtenheld.de>

```
The asciidoc documentation seemed to indicate that type specifiers
are honoured on writing operations which they aren't. Make this
more clear.

 The type specifier can be either '--int' or '--bool', which will make
 'git-config' ensure that the variable(s) are of the given type and
 convert the value to the canonical form (simple decimal number for int,
-a "true" or "false" string for bool). If no type specifier is passed,

+take effect for reading operations.  If no type specifier is passed,
 no checks or transformations are performed on the value.
