Hi there,
I might have stumbled this time over a real bug in includeIf / conditional includes or maybe it's just as intended.
1) Given I have a correct configured includeIf and I’m issuing `git config --show-origin --get user.email` against an directory which hasn’t been `git init`ed I get the user.email configured globally.
2) Given I have a correct configured includeIf and I’m issuing `git config --show-origin --get user.email` against an directory which has been `git init`ed I get the user.email configured conditionally.
For 1) I would probably expect to get the user.email configured conditionally even for a plain directory.

More details see this (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/43919191/git-2-13-conditional-config-on-windows/) Stack Overflow question. Best regards, Raphael Stolt
