There is a separate discussion of conditional configuration based on environment variable settings, e.g.

    [includeIf "env:TERM:vt100"]
	path = ~/.git-config-bits/vt100

where the named file might have

    [prompt] prefix = "\033[H\033[J"

so it is certainly doable.

It is a different story if doing so is sensible, of course.
