If a new config file gets introduced at `~/.config/git/config`, what

What will be the new flag to access it? I mean anything new like
--system / --global going to be introduced?

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.
