Summary

Why?

git.binary implied that every Git subprocess could use an operator-selected executable, but the implementation consistently invokes git from PATH and never read the setting.

What?

Remove the unsupported configuration field and example entry, and verify that the obsolete key is rejected instead of silently suggesting custom-binary support.

Test Plan

✅ cargo test -p walgit-config removed_git_binary_configuration_is_rejected
✅ cargo fmt --all -- --check
✅ git diff --check

Issue

Closes #81
