Hmm, I actually think this is a good thing to do in the sense that it
vastly simplifies the user experience ;-).  Two less things to explain.

Care to write up a snippet for 1.6.0 release notes, as this is quite a
large user visible backward incompatible change, even though it would be
an improvement?

Sure:

* GIT_CONFIG, which was only documented as affecting "git config", but 
  actually affected all git commands, now only affects "git config". 
  GIT_LOCAL_CONFIG, also only documented as affecting "git config" and not 
  different from GIT_CONFIG in a useful way, is removed.
