All of the above justifies why it makes sense to treat --file,
--blob and "git -c VAR=VAL" as the same scope (i.e. it would have
been a nice part of log message of the commit that introduced
SCOPE_CMDLINE), but that is not something we need to justify
now---we have such a scope for one-shot settings and these three
sources are already treated as the same class.

The change in this commit is to rename CMDLINE to COMMAND. That is
what the proposed log message for this step must justify.
We internally use CONFIG_SCOPE_CMDLINE for the scope for the
configuration variables that come from "git -c VAR=VAL",
"git config --file=FILE" and "git config --blob=BLOB". As
we are going to expose the scope names to end-users in the
next step, let's rethink the half-cryptic "cmdline" and
instead use a proper word "command" (the settings from three
sources in this scope are all in effect only during a single
invocation of a git command).
or something like that.

The only externally observable effect of this patch is this output
string from test-tool and we are not breaking end-user experience,
but I am not sure if this churn is worth it. I dunno.
In any case, the change to t1308 we saw in the previous step belongs
to this step, I think.
