Hi,

Please make "--list" the default option of git-config(1) if no other option
has been specified. As it does not (seem to) have any side effects, this is
imho a much more reasonable default than aborting.

TIA,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian, I agree that git-config without any arguments defaulting
to --list might be a good idea.  Unfortunately your patch isn't
complete, it misses updates to the usage output and documentation ;(.
Additionally I would suggest to move the 'return
git_config(show_all_config);' into to case switch below the option
parsing.

Thanks, Gerrit.
