What does "at the system level" in your "does *not* work at the system level." exactly mean?

A configuration variable in the repository configuration take precedence over user preference $HOME/.gitconfig which in turn take precedence over system wide default /etc/gitconfig (or whereever you or your distro decided to place it). In other words, if you have "[receive] denyNonFastForwards" in the system wide default, you can say "[receive] denyNonFastForwards = false" in one particular repository to allow it for that repository.
