   - The C(git_config) module changes git configuration by invoking 'git config'.
     This is needed if you don't want to use M(template) for the entire git
     config file (e.g. because you need to change just C(user.email) in
-    /etc/.git/config).  Solutions involving M(command) are cumbersone or
+    /etc/.git/config).  Solutions involving M(command) are cumbersome or
     don't work correctly in check mode.
