I misremembered.  GIT_CONFIG_COUNT and stuff are usable by end user
scripts, but then ...

... this part must clarify what environment variables it is talking
about.

    ... via the command line option `-c safe.directory=<path>`, or
    via the GIT_CONFIG_{KEY,VALUE} mechanism.

to have GIT_SAFE_DIRECTORIES environment variable that should NOT be
ignored.
