  I would like git config to give me just the settings for the local 
repository (.git/config).  I am likely misreading the documentation, but 
it appears there isn't an option for that.

Would someone mind setting me straight?

AFAIK you can only fake it with

  $ git config --file .git/config --list

(or something like that).

This looks like it will work for me.

I've never looked at the config section of the Git code.  I'll have to 
see what it would take to add a --local command line option to do the 
same thing as above but in a more convenient fashion.

Whee!

My opinion doesn't count for anything, but I have interest.  :)
