Configuring the location of ~/.gitconfig

Hi,

I'd like to configure the location of ~/.gitconfig through an
environment variable.  My usecase is a simple enough: I have a
repository with all my dotfiles, and I don't want to symlink
~/dotfiles/.gitconfig from $HOME after cloning it.  Does anyone else
think the feature will be useful?

A couple of similar examples:
1. The git templates directory is configurable via the
GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR variable.
2. The location of ~/.zshrc, ~/.zlogin etc is configurable via the
ZDOTDIR variable in ZSH.
