<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p>I requested changes. Basically, modern git actually defaults to <code>$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config</code> for its config file and only falls back to <code>~/.gitconfig</code> if the needed. Best is to query git about its options using <code>git config --global user.email</code> (taking care of failures etc if <code>git</code> is not in <code>$PATH</code> or otherwise not executable of course).</p>
