I know you know this and I am writing this message for others.

I admit that I wondered if "a single file" ought to cover these
short-hand notations like --global and --local while re-reading the
log message of 9b25a0b52 (config: add include directive,
2012-02-06).  In other words, I agree that it used to be arguable
before we released v1.7.10.

It no longer is arguable simply due to backward compatibilty.  The
ship has long sailed.
