Hrm, is there a better way to give this advice to the _users_?  The
log message is primarily for people who need to dig the development
history of Git, and they are not the people who will be hurt by this
change.  Perhaps the change to Documentation/git-config.txt in this
patch needs to be a bit more detailed?

Ideally, it would be nice if we could do the usual "advise" thing
by detecting a possible confusion, but I do not offhand see a clever
way to do so.
