Re: [PATCH] config: introduce GIT_GLOBAL_CONFIG to override ~/.gitconfig

Also, have you considered using a config include? Like:

  $ echo '[include]path = ~/my-dotfiles/gitconfig' >~/.gitconfig

Very good suggestion.

... you have to bootstrap
somehow (e.g., you're going to have to copy a .profile or similar to get
the GIT_GLOBAL_CONFIG variable set).

Exactly my thought ;-)
