I guess he ran Emacs before checking out his .emacs.d, and Emacs created
.config/emacs. Then when he checked out his .emacs.d, it is not loaded. This
could confuse some people, for example, when someone installed emacs and ran it
once to make sure the install is successful. Adding a notice when creating
.config/emacs would be helpful.
