Another thing I wondered after reading this patch was that it will be a
rather common "mistake" to include the same file twice, one in ~/.gitconfig
and then another in project specific .git/config, or more likely, people
start using useful ones in ~their/.gitconfig, and then the site administrator
by popular demand adding the same include in /etc/gitconfig to retroactively
cause the same file included twice for them.
Your first alternative solution should solve this case nicely as well, I
would think.
