Yes, but maybe not where you'd expect.  In gitcredentials(7), there's
this text:

  If there are multiple instances of the `credential.helper` configuration
  variable, each helper will be tried in turn, and may provide a username,
  password, or nothing. Once Git has acquired both a username and a
  password, no more helpers will be tried.

  If `credential.helper` is configured to the empty string, this resets
  the helper list to empty (so you may override a helper set by a
  lower-priority config file by configuring the empty-string helper,
  followed by whatever set of helpers you would like).

The `credential.helper` option mentions that manual page.
