This came from the GitHub CLI tool I use
(https://github.com/sociomantic-tsunami/git-hub) which stores own
configuration in git config (i.e. `git config hub.oauthtoken`). Some of
its command run outside of the repository context, for example `git hub
clone` ensures creation of a personal fork before doing regular clone
and thus needs access to the token.

Thus I hoped that I will be able to use new git functionality to
distinguish between work and personal GitHub accounts same as it is done
for name/email.
