Actually, I think the same applies to send-email too? There's
sendemail.to and sendemail.cc which can't be overridden. At least the
email associated commands are all quirky ;-)

Honestly though, I think you're right about fixing them. We have the
option of making them consistent with the rest of git with a little bit
of work. If you say --no-cc or --no-add-headers or --no-to the
respective config should be overriden. If you say --to or --cc or
--add-headers it should be appended. I doubt anyone would find that
surprising since --no-* doesn't do anything right now.
