Merge branch 'bn/http-cookiefile-config'

"http.cookieFile" configuration variable clearly wants a pathname,
but we forgot to treat it as such by e.g. applying tilde expansion.

* bn/http-cookiefile-config:
  http: expand http.cookieFile as a path
  Documentation: config: improve word ordering for http.cookieFile

  http.proxy::
        Override the HTTP proxy, normally configured using the 'http_proxy',
 -      'https_proxy', and 'all_proxy' environment variables (see
 -      `curl(1)`).  This can be overridden on a per-remote basis; see
 -      remote.<name>.proxy
 +      'https_proxy', and 'all_proxy' environment variables (see `curl(1)`). In
 +      addition to the syntax understood by curl, it is possible to specify a
 +      proxy string with a user name but no password, in which case git will
 +      attempt to acquire one in the same way it does for other credentials. See
 +      linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for more information. The syntax thus is
 +      '[protocol://][user[:password]@]proxyhost[:port]'. This can be overridden
 +      on a per-remote basis; see remote.<name>.proxy
 +
 +http.proxyAuthMethod::
 +      Set the method with which to authenticate against the HTTP proxy. This
 +      only takes effect if the configured proxy string contains a user name part
 +      (i.e. is of the form 'user@host' or 'user@host:port'). This can be
 +      overridden on a per-remote basis; see `remote.<name>.proxyAuthMethod`.
 +      Both can be overridden by the 'GIT_HTTP_PROXY_AUTHMETHOD' environment
 +      variable.  Possible values are:
 ++
 +--
 +* `anyauth` - Automatically pick a suitable authentication method. It is
 +  assumed that the proxy answers an unauthenticated request with a 407
 +  status code and one or more Proxy-authenticate headers with supported
 +  authentication methods. This is the default.
 +* `basic` - HTTP Basic authentication
 +* `digest` - HTTP Digest authentication; this prevents the password from being
 +  transmitted to the proxy in clear text
 +* `negotiate` - GSS-Negotiate authentication (compare the --negotiate option
 +  of `curl(1)`)
 +* `ntlm` - NTLM authentication (compare the --ntlm option of `curl(1)`)
 +--
 +
 +http.emptyAuth::
 +      Attempt authentication without seeking a username or password.  This
 +      can be used to attempt GSS-Negotiate authentication without specifying
 +      a username in the URL, as libcurl normally requires a username for
 +      authentication.
 +
 +http.extraHeader::
 +      Pass an additional HTTP header when communicating with a server.  If
 +      more than one such entry exists, all of them are added as extra
 +      headers.  To allow overriding the settings inherited from the system
 +      config, an empty value will reset the extra headers to the empty list.
  
  http.cookieFile::
-       File containing previously stored cookie lines which should be used
+       The pathname of a file containing previously stored cookie lines,
+       which should be used
        in the Git http session, if they match the server. The file format
        of the file to read cookies from should be plain HTTP headers or
        the Netscape/Mozilla cookie file format (see linkgit:curl[1]).
