Well, there are some variables, like advice.*, or core.*, or alias.*, or
color.*, or browser.<tool>.path, or i18n.*, or interactive.singlekey,
or notes.*, or user.* that do not really belong to single git command
(well, perhaps they could be put in git(1) manpage), or belong to more
than one command.
