Hrm, is there a better way to give this advice to the _users_? The log message is primarily for people who need to dig the development history of Git, and they are not the people who will be hurt by this change. Perhaps the change to Documentation/git-config.txt in this patch needs to be a bit more detailed? Ideally, it would be nice if we could do the usual "advise" thing by detecting a possible confusion, but I do not offhand see a clever way to do so.
