[PATCH v2 0/1] Fix git init with core.hidedotfiles

This fixes an regression that was not present in Git for Windows's original core.hideDotFiles patch, but in the shape of the core.hideDotFiles patch that made it into git.git.

We fixed it in one big hurry in Git for Windows, and I simply forgot to upstream this right away.

Changes since v1:
 * Clarified in the code comment that our intention is to pick up 
   core.hidedotfiles in the first git_config() call.
 * Explained in the commit message why we cannot remove the 
   git_config(git_init_db_config, NULL) call from create_default_files(): it
   would cause a change of behavior with regard to the init.templatedir 
   setting.
 * Simplified the test case.

          The fix is obvious: read the (limited, pre-init) config *before*
          creating the .git/ directory.

     +    call from `create_default_files()`: we create the `.git/` directory
