git config --help and git config -l can also be of use for related reasons.

The git man page (man git and search for ^ENVIRONMENT) has a list of environment variables.

As of version 1.7.9.5, there are 24 of them. (GIT_SHELL is not on that list, and there are no references to it in the git source code.) They all start with "GIT_" except for EMAIL.

I'd list them here, but it's probably more useful to run man git yourself, to make sure you have the right list for the version you're using.
