Another thing is, what if I want to exclude certain part of the included config?

[1] I want conditional inclusion because sometimes the rules for config
   entries changes from version to version. For example, I have
   pager.diff set to a script in my ~/.gitconfig. But older versions of
   git don't understand non-boolean values and barf. I'd really like to
   do something like:

   [include-ifdef "has-pager-scripts"]
   path = ~/.gitconfig-pager

   where "has-pager-scripts" would be a magic flag compiled into git
   versions that understand that config.

But how far would you go with conditional expressions?

This syntax is simple yet would solve one problem I run into
often.  It could be used for the case where some settings
(e.g. diff.tool, merge.tool) are different on OS X and Linux.

[include-ifdef "darwin"]
	path = ~/.gitconfig-darwin
