If a new config file gets introduced at `~/.config/git/config`, what will be the new order of config file precedence?

`/etc/gitconfig` > `~/.gitconfig` > `~/.config/git/config` > `.git/config` or `/etc/gitconfig` > `~/.config/git/config` > `~/.gitconfig` > `.git/config` ?

What will be the new flag to access it? I mean anything new like --system / --global going to be introduced?
