Thanks for status updates. Should we start trying to reach a consensus on how to move forward, or is it not your itch?

It is not _too_ bad to treat ~/.gitconfig specially and support reading from ~/.$SOMEGITTTYNAME/{excludes,attributes} files. We can also add support for ~/.$SOMEGITTYNAME/config and try reading from it as well, but even if we did so I don't think we should stop reading from ~/.gitconfig.

I don't have strong preference myself either way.
