The "this is how this works" has been covered already by others, but
can you elaborate on the use-case, why does it matter for you that
"git config" doesn't show your user.email when you have no git dir
there, I can't think of a reason for why this would matter since
there's no .git there, so there's no way anything can use the config
info at that location.
