The current description is misleading because it fits a "default false" setting whereas the default is "true" (as mentioned). Instead, craft the wording in `config/log.txt` analogous to the one in `git-log.txt`. Note that the wording is not exactly the same, e.g. because `config/log.txt` wants to link to man pages and man pages want to refer to command options. Otherwise, includes would be the easy route to consistency here.
