Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] config: allow overriding global/system config

Hi,

this is the fourth version of my patch series to provide a way of
overriding the global system configuration.

Compared to v3, I only dropped the special-casing of `/dev/null`. As
Junio rightly pointed out, the special-casing was incomplete and would
have required more work to do the right thing for all cases. It can
still be re-added at a later point if the usecase actually comes up.

Patrick
