OK, the person that forgot having log.decorate configured is me.

How about alias? It's part of my muscle memory.

Something is essential when working on constantly integration tree,
I don't want to make my life hard:
* rerere.enabled = true
* rerere.autoupdate = true
Something is there to shut up advice, I can live without those
configuration value, though (I don't use git-pull these days, anyway):
* pull.rebase = false
Working with patch based need:
* sendemail.smtpserver
* sendemail.smtpencryption
* sendemail.smtpuser
* credential.helper
My GnuPG key is Ed25519, and gpg v2 in my machine is named gpg2, so:
* gpg.program = gpg2
And I would like to try new shiny features:
* feature.experimental = true

So, my baseline already requires 8 key-value pairs (ignoring alias and
pull.rebase). I'm lost already.
