It was suggested that you also write to the XDG file if the XDG
_directory_ exists. After thinking about it, I tend to disagree with
this, because creating ~/.config/git/ignore would let Git write to the
XDG configuration file as a side effect, which I find strange.

Anyway, you may add the case where ~/.config/git/ exists but not the
config file in it to your tests, to materialize the decision you have
taken on that point.
