Re: Q: rational for $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config to be "non global" or just a bug?

To complete that abstraction it seems like reading via "--global" should
read from both (in the same precedence order that normal config lookup
uses).

FWIW +1 from me on that ;)

FWIW I do not have problem with that endgame.

I wonder if anybody wants to get their hands dirty.  It should be a
quite straight-forward to split a helper (or three) out of the
do_git_config_sequence() helper, but the interface from cmd_config()
to call into config.c to read a specific "class" of config file is
the same codepath as a single file, so a major part of this work
will be to design how to extend the interface to do the limited
"sequence" thing.
