OK. I think this is very much futureproof and a sensible thing to have a "platform_core_config()" call here. That way, we do not have to say the details of what platform specific thing each platform wants when init_db_config works.

And from that point of view, replacing `core.hidedotfiles` with something like "platform specific core config" would be more appropriate.

We use git_init_db_config from create_default_files(), which is a function called several lines after this point; shouldn't that now be removed from create_default_files()?

This is not incorrect per-se, but I think most tests do the mkdir outside subshell, i.e.

	rm -rf newdir &&
	mkdir newdir &&
	(
		cd newdir &&
		sane_unset ... &&
		...
	) &&

Other than these, I find nothing questionable in the patch. Nicely done.
