What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
Executing `git config --global ...` and $PWD/.git exists as a file and is invalid.
What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
Git reads from or writes to the global config store.
What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
It prints: fatal: invalid gitfile format: $PWD/.git
What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
Git fails to access the global config even if the current directory's `.git` file has nothing to do with the global config.
