Re: [PATCH] add a commit.verbose config variable

Hi,

This is v2, right? Then call it [PATCH v2] in the title, and summarize
the diff wrt v1. As much as possible, Cc people who participated in the
review of v1.

"Since ... and ..." calls for a verb to end the sentence (already noted
by Eric with v1).

> +commit.verbose::

Either say "See linkgit:git-commit[1]" between parenthesis, or add a
period (.) at the end of the sentence.

> +--override-verbose::

The convention is to call this --no-verbose. --override-verbose is not a
good name for such option.

Look how other similar cases are managed (e.g. status.short,
status.branch, am.threeway)

Style: spaces between if and (, but not inside ( ).

This is a strange way to write the "cli takes precedence over config".
The usual way is to read from least precedence to highest precedence,
i.e. git_config_get_bool before calling parse_option.

You dropped the "RFC" tag from the subject line, but your patch still
lacks a test. It cannot be called final without.
