Ah, in that case I don't see why we should single out this Git setting 
from all the others, in a document intended for people starting to 
develop Emacs. We should strive for simple instructions, something like 
"git clone URL; cd emacs; make" rather than a treatise on Git 
configuration that will be confusing and off-putting. If anything, even 
the current instructions are too complicated.
If this setting is generally advisable for Emacs developers, it should 
be done as part of the default simple setup. If not, not.
