If config parameter core.logAllRefUpdates is true or the log
file already exists then append a line to ".git/logs/refs/<ref>"
whenever git-update-ref <ref> is executed. Each log line contains
the following information:
oldsha1 <SP> newsha1 <SP> committer <LF>
where committer is the current user, date, time and timezone in
the standard GIT ident format. If the caller is unable to append
to the log file then git-update-ref will fail without updating <ref>.
An optional message may be included in the log line with the -m flag.

When inspecting a project whose build infrastructure used to
assume that .git/HEAD is a symlink ref, core.prefersymlinkrefs
in the config file of such a project would help to bisect its
history.

This patch adds a Documentation/config.txt file included by git-repo-config
and currently aggregating hopefully all the available git plumbing / core
porcelain configuration variables, as well as briefly describing the format.
It also updates an outdated bit of the example in git-repo-config(1).
