Btw, another option might be to start searching ".gitconfig", but only allow a certain "safe subset" of config options in that. Things that can really be about the project itself, and not per-user or per-repository.

And parse it before ~/.gitconfig and .git/config, so that people can always override it.

I dunno. Looking at the config options, there really aren't a lot of them that make sense on a project scale. There's a few, though. Things like

	core.autocrlf
	i18n.commitEnconfig

and possibly others..
