Ariadne Conill 2d9c569058 documentation: mention --no-use-mailmap and log.mailmap false setting
The log.mailmap setting may be explicitly set to false, which disables
the mailmap feature implicity. In practice, doing so is equivalent to
always using the previously undocumented --no-use-mailmap option on the
command line.

Accordingly, we document both the existence of --no-use-mailmap as
well as briefly discuss the equivalence of it to log.mailmap=False.

log.abbrevCommit::
If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--abbrev-commit`. You may
override this option with `--no-abbrev-commit`.
log.date::
Set the default date-time mode for the 'log' command.
Setting a value for log.date is similar to using 'git log''s
`--date` option. See linkgit:git-log[1] for details.
log.decorate::
Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown by the log
command. If 'short' is specified, the ref name prefixes 'refs/heads/',
'refs/tags/' and 'refs/remotes/' will not be printed. If 'full' is
specified, the full ref name (including prefix) will be printed.
If 'auto' is specified, then if the output is going to a terminal,
the ref names are shown as if 'short' were given, otherwise no ref
names are shown. This is the same as the `--decorate` option
of the `git log`.
log.follow::
If `true`, `git log` will act as if the `--follow` option was used when
a single <path> is given. This has the same limitations as `--follow`,
i.e. it cannot be used to follow multiple files and does not work well
on non-linear history.
log.graphColors::
A list of colors, separated by commas, that can be used to draw
history lines in `git log --graph`.
log.showRoot::
If true, the initial commit will be shown as a big creation event.
This is equivalent to a diff against an empty tree.
Tools like linkgit:git-log[1] or linkgit:git-whatchanged[1], which
normally hide the root commit will now show it. True by default.
log.showSignature::
If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--show-signature`.
log.mailmap::
If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--use-mailmap`, otherwise
assume `--no-use-mailmap`. False by default.
