Per-repository configuration file like .git/info/config sounds like the way to go. Long time ago, the core never read any per-repository nor per-odb configuration file, but after grafts and then now alternates, we started doing it, and there is no reason to shy away from having an official configuration file mechanism. Maybe recent HTTP related environment variables could also be folded into it.

While we are at it, we may want to move things around to consolidate per-repository configuration into a single placek. Specifically, I have moving .git/remotes/ in mind.
