While it helps to mention what the default behaviour is when a
variable is unconfigured, when there are more than true or false
choices for the variable (e.g. "defaults to never, among possible
choices never/local/remote/always"), or if the default behaviour is
as if the unconfigured variable were set to true the knob is purely
to opt out of it ("Porcelain 'git diff' refreshes the index, but
diff.autoRefreshIndex can be set to false to opt out of it"), it
feels like it adds unnecesary noise to say "defaults to off" for a
configuration variable that is clearly a Boolean.

* I am somewhat hesitant to use a phrase that implies that there is
some "default value" for any configuration variable. Saying "The
default value for the configuration variable X is Y" misleads
readers to expect that "git config -l" would show X=Y when the
user hasn't configured X at all.
It is just the feature controlled by the configuration variable
works exactly as if the configuration variable is set to that
"default value", instead of left unconfigured.
But that is a separate issue, and is totally outside the scope of
this change.
