I really think people should at least also mention:

	"Or just edit your .git/config file by hand"

Quite frankly, the latter is *easier* to do. It's really hard to remember 
all the config entry names and then run "git config <entry> <value>". The 
command itself may be fairly simple, but rememberign the options is *not*.

In contrast, when you open up .git/config in your editor, it's all almost 
totally *obvious*.

So telling people to edit the config file is usually much more helpful in 
the long run.
