The new order would be: `/etc/gitconfig` > `~/.config/git/config` > `~/.gitconfig` > `.git/config`
There won't be new flag to access it. You can access it with --global only if ~/.gitconfig doesn't exist.
But I will try to create another patch _only_ for reading first. So if git doesn't find a value in ~/.gitconfig or if this file doesn't exist, git will search this value in ~/.config/git/config if this file exists. But for the time being, I don't know how to do it.
