From: Philippe Blain <levraiphilippeblain@xxxxxxxxx>
There is currently no machine-friendly way to show _all_ configuration
variables from the command line. 'git help --config' does show them all,
but it also sets up the pager. 'git help --config-for-completion' omits
some variables (those containing wildcards, for example) and 'git help
--config-section-for-completion' shows only top-level section names.
In a following commit we will want to have access to a list of all
configuration variables from the Bash completion script. As such, add a
new mode for the command, HELP_ACTION_CONFIG_ALL_FOR_COMPLETION,
triggered by the new option '--config-all-for-completion'. In this mode,
show all variables, just as HELP_ACTION_CONFIG, but do not set up the
pager.
