If you have a folder named ~/.gitconfig instead of a file with that
name, when you try to run some global config editing command it will
fail with a wrong error message:
"fatal: Out of memory? mmap failed: No such device"
You can reproduce it:
$rm ~/.gitconfig
$mkdir ~/.gitconfig
$ls -la ~
...

drwxr-xr-x 6 hit hit 4096 may 27 14:01 github

$git config --global core.editor "vim"
