Your message contains the word "implement" too many times. Before
thinking about implementation, think, and discuss, about the design.

If your message is intended to be a discussion on the design, then avoid
using "implementation" in the subject.

This tells a lot about the "what?", but lacks the most important "why?"
(or "what for?") question.

The user doesn't want to "set configuration variables". He wants to work
with git, have commands do the right thing, avoid typing useless
keystrokes and avoid surprising behavior. Please explain how your
proposal would improve the situation. For example, show a typical
use-case with commands to type before and after your proposal is
implemented.
