I see this "project-level .gitconfig" via the .gitmodules file.
See GITMODULES(5), anything except submodule.<name>.path is
just project-level .gitconfig, so in that sense we already threw out the
baby with the bathwater. I think we want to be extra careful to not add
more possible options into the .gitmodules file, now that we established
a strong stance on not shipping a project-level .gitconfig.
Thanks,
Stefan
