You mean people that provide their own ETC_GITCONFIG? If you mean
distributions, their packaging would override /etc/gitconfig, if you
mean people that have already a /etc/gitconfig, packaging systems
usually save the old one so they can solve the conflict manually (e.g.
/etc/gitconfig.pacsave). So no, it would not conflict. If you mean
people that have ~/.gitconfig, then absolutely not, because that one
takes precedence.

Alternatively, we could have a higher level configuration file (e.g.
/usr/share/git/config), but I think that's overkill.

But we want them to be easily readable, and possibly allow
distributions to easily modify them.
