With a new environment variable GIT_ETC_GITCONFIG, the users can
specify a file that is used instead of /etc/gitconfig to read (and
write) the system-wide configuration.

Why it is named GIT_ETC_GITCONFIG (which is Unix-ism), and not
GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM / GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM_PATH, that is something
OS-neutral?

Isn't "environment variable" something that came from POSIX world?

I don't know who invented the concept, but environment variables have
been there in the windows world since it exists I think (it existed in
MS-DOS).
