Hi Ronan

I think both these patches are useful improvements, thanks for working 
on them. I've left one comment below

Here we need to decide whether to use user_config or xdg_config as the 
config file. In builtin/config.c we do this with

		if (access_or_warn(user_config, R_OK, 0) &&
		    xdg_config && !access_or_warn(xdg_config, R_OK, 0)) {
			given_config_source.file = xdg_config;
			free(user_config);
		} else {
			given_config_source.file = user_config;
			free(xdg_config);
		}

We need something similar here (maybe we should create a helper function 
to find the appropriate file)

This check needs to come before deciding which config file to use
