From: Matthew Rogers <mattr94@xxxxxxxxx> do_git_config_sequence operated under the assumption that it was correct to set current_parsing_scope to CONFIG_SCOPE_UNKNOWN as part of the cleanup it does after it finishes execution. This is incorrect, as it blows away the current_parsing_scope if do_git_config_sequence is called recursively. As such situations are rare (git config running with the '--blob' option is one example) this has yet to cause a problem, but the upcoming '--show-scope' option will experience issues in that case, lets teach do_git_config_sequence to preserve the current_parsing_scope from before it started execution.
