`foo.bar` to the boolean true value (just like `[foo]bar` would in a
config file). Including the equals but with an empty value (like `git -c
foo.bar= ...`) sets `foo.bar` to the empty string which `git config
---bool` will convert to `false`.
+--type=bool` will convert to `false`.

+Reset, restore and revert
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+There are three commands with similar names: `git reset`,
+`git restore` and `git revert`.
+
+* linkgit:git-revert[1] is about making a new commit that reverts the
+ changes made by other commits.
+
+* linkgit:git-restore[1] is about restoring files in the working tree
+ from either the index or another commit. This command does not
+ update your branch. The command can also be used to restore files in
+ the index from another commit.
+
+* linkgit:git-reset[1] is about updating your branch, moving the tip
+ in order to add or remove commits from the branch. This operation
+ changes the commit history.
++
+`git reset` can also be used to restore the index, overlapping with
+`git restore`.

- Entries that begin with `"` (double-quote) will be interpreted

- `path-with-"-and-:-in-it` and `vanilla-path`.
