... while "git config list" includes both, which is an inconsistency
without good reason.

Thanks for addressing this issue.  I haven't had a chance to look at
these patches yet, but both analysis and Glen's outline for the best
approach presented in the thread [1] do look very sensible.

What is the reason behind [RFC] in the title?  Are there things that
are iffy yourself in the patches that reviewers want to pay special
attention to?

Thanks.
