The option, e.g. --system, does not have to translate to "let's see which file does the option mean, OK, it is /etc/gitconfig so do the same thing as --file /etc/gitconfig". Instead, we can treat it as "do the usual config sequence but ignore everything but the system config". And that would handle a class like --global that can have more than one input source in a lot more natural way. Very good.
