I'm lukewarm either way on this one, I think it would be pretty trivial
to write something that did this, so that only leaves the question of
'should' we do this, which I don't really have any particularly strong
feelings about.  What would this even ultimately look like? perhaps
something like this for a command of `git config --show-scope`:

system var=option (currently ignored due to GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM)

Which kind of begs the question of how many people set that variable
and then forget that they set it?  Although I can totally see why it would
be nice to have some kind of config flag that's a big
"Just show me everything that's going on option" which considering these
variables would probably be a little bit more than the current next-best of
`git config --list --show-scope --show-origin`.  Again though, I'm not
exactly sure how useful such an option would be.
