Part of a campaign to make repository-local configuration available early (simplifying the startup sequence for built-in commands).

As before (except the commit message).

Well, that’s it. There’s also a separate fix for "check-ref-format --branch", which I’ll send under separate cover.

Still to be considered are various commands that currently do not do an unconditional repository search, especially low-level commands that are not about the current repository: verify-pack, mailinfo, hash-object, archive --remote, check-ref-format, diff --no-index, help, and all the others. Let’s bite off one thing at a time. :)

Thanks for reading; I hope the patches were not too dull. Thoughts (especially improvements) welcome, as always.
