Perfectly valid.  Copying the other way might (or might not) result in
invalid options in .gitconfig, which probably ought to be warned
about.  But the syntax is obviously identical.

Which one takes precedence? I *MUST* be able to override a distributed
.gitconfig/.gitparams/.gitparameters file.

Yes, absolutely.  As Linus said, the in-project file is lower priority
than your .git/config and ~/.gitconfig files.
