CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
-----------------------
CONF.VAR (from -c option) and web.browser
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The web browser can be specified using a configuration variable passed
with the -c (or --config) command line option, or the 'web.browser'
configuration variable if the former is not used.
browser.<tool>.path
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can explicitly provide a full path to your preferred browser by
setting the configuration variable 'browser.<tool>.path'. For example,
you can configure the absolute path to firefox by setting
'browser.firefox.path'. Otherwise, 'git-web--browse' assumes the tool
is available in PATH.
browser.<tool>.cmd
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

not among the supported ones, then the corresponding
'browser.<tool>.cmd' configuration variable will be looked up. If this
variable exists then "git web--browse" will treat the specified tool
as a custom command and will use a shell eval to run the command with
the URLs passed as arguments.
Note about git config --global
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note that these configuration variables should probably be set using
the '--global' flag, for example like this:
