Nothing (i.e. show unexpanded / not converted), just like for boolean
variables "git config -l" doesn't convert 1/on/yes to true, and 0/off/no
to false, just like for integer variables "git config -l" doesn't convert
to simple decimal number taking into account optional 'k', 'm' or 'g'
suffix.


BTW. the suffix part of integer conversion should really be described
in the paragraph about --int and --bool options (which should be made
into proper description list, and not a prose paragraph).

P.S. I am a bit missing --local / --repository option to git-config to
complement --global (which should probably be named --user) and --system
options.
