Not necessarily.  It is always good to learn how "normal people"
(read: those other than who develop and write documentation for Git)
would react to and understand what we write in the manual pages, as
that is the only way we can find what is confusing, ambiguous and
can be improved.

Perhaps

    "... available via the ... configuration variable, and cannot be
    used in the .gitmodules file"

would have helped you?

Thanks.
