I wonder whether or not we should write "rather than the repository `$GIT_DIR/config`" instead of `.git/config`. The former is true for bare repositories, too, but may in fact be more confusing than what you have writen so clearly. Perhaps `.git/config` is clear enough; I definitely don't feel strongly about it. Thanks, Taylor
