Hello

With the release of 1.5.0 I added legacyheaders=false and usedelatbaseoffset=true to my repositories.

While doing that though, it felt wrong to be editing every single config. Is there a justification for having three config files?

 /etc/gitconfig
 $HOME/.gitconfig
 $GIT_DIR/config

With /etc/gitconfig coming in at lowest priority?

Andy
