It'd be cool if I were able to override config settings at every nested directory. For example, I have my ~/.gitconfig that has one email address in it, but I also have multiple repos inside ~/dev which I want to use a different email address for. The only way to do that now is to edit all of these: ~/dev/*/.git/conf -- and there are lots of them, and new repos get added all the time - and I forget. If I could add ~/dev/.gitconfig and have the settings in that override ~/.gitconfig then this would be way more manageable. Obviously, individual repo's .git/config should take ultimate precedence.
