config --global --edit: create a template file if needed
When the user has no ~/.gitconfig file, git config --global --edit used
to launch an editor on an nonexistant file name.
Instead, create a file with a default content before launching the
editor. The template contains only commented-out entries, to save a few
keystrokes for the user. If the values are guessed properly, the user
will only have to uncomment the entries.
Advanced users teaching newbies can create a minimalistic configuration
faster for newbies. Beginners reading a tutorial advising to run "git
config --global --edit" as a first step will be slightly more guided for
their first contact with Git.
