Neither slash or "./" at the beginning...

...then yeah it looks pretty good. With the exception of "./" we can still have paths relative to where the the config file is. For $HOME/.gitconfig that eliminates the need for expanding "~" ($HOME/.config/git/config may still need it, unless we allow "../" too, but that complicates matching).

Naah the complication of .gitignore and .gitattributes have long exceeded my brain's capacity.
