I think that is expected when the word "config file" is mentioned.
It's no different than aliases, which could also be repo specific and
affects completion.

This is a good point. I'd rather forgo caching iff the "custom"
strategy is used (technically we could still cache if we know the
source if $HOME/.gitconfig or higher but it's not worth the effort).
Just make it clear to the user that if they go with "custom" strategy
then they may hit some performance hit.

I'm tempted to support "delta custom list" (e.g. "+cherry-pick" in the
config variable means "add that command on the existing list", or
"-blame" means exclude it) but that's probably too much work.
