Hrm...

I looked at http://git-htmldocs.googlecode.com/git/git-config.html and am unsure what "one level too much" you are referring to. Also looking at the output from

$ git config --help

I see (RHS end truncated to avoid line wrapping in MUA):

    status.showUntrackedFiles
        By default, git-status(1) and git-commit(1) show files whi
        tracked by Git. Directories which contain only untracked f
        the directory name only. Showing untracked files means tha
        lstat() all all the files in the whole repository, which m
        systems. So, this variable controls how the commands displ
        files. Possible values are:

        ·    no - Show no untracked files.

        ·    normal - Show untracked files and directories.

        ·    all - Show also individual files in untracked directo

        If this variable is not specified, it defaults to normal. 
        overridden with the -u|--untracked-files option of git-sta
        commit(1).
