I think it is immensely preferrable to do this than cascading to
default_config like this patch does and then piling band-aid on top to fix
the breakage caused by calling default_config.

An alternative approach may be to move reading of core.attributesfile to
default_config, and drop git_config() call from bootstrap_attr_stack(),
getting rid of git_attr_config callback altogether.
