For what it’s worth this is how I found it.

I was working on the kh/doc-hook topic and noticed that my changes
didn’t trigger any `doc-diff` changes for git-config(1). So I checked
the file and nope, it wasn’t included. Then I massaged the file includes
and diffed it with `Documentation/config/`. The only missing ones were:

• replay
• fmt-merge-msg

And `fmt-merge-msg` turned out to be a false positive since it is
included via `merge` or something.
