Thanks for the fix! As for the point above, isn't the whole point of the feature system to do this kind of toplevel configuration possible? (If so, it sounds like a concrete explanation for why it's not worth the effort: it only makes it possible to specify the defaults in a toplevel .gitconfig file, which could be nice but probably confusing.)
