git config --global not picking up includes

[Jim Garrison <jim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have found that `git config --global` does not pick up any include 
directives in the git config file.

For instance, my ~/.gitconfig contains the following:

    [include]
        path = /home/garrison/gitconfig-include

And ~/gitconfig-include in turn contains

    [user]
        name = Jim Garrison

However, when I pass the --global flag to git config, my name is not 
picked up:

    $ git config --global user.name
    $ git config user.name
    Jim Garrison

If I instead replace .gitconfig with the contents of gitconfig-include 
(and in turn remove the include step), everything works as expected.

    $ git config --global user.name
    Jim Garrison
    $ git config user.name
    Jim Garrison

I am using the latest git master, built on Debian jessie.
