Once you start doing that, doesn't it force you to always bypass .git/config, making the current mechanism even less useful?  If you find that "having to sync up .git/config first" is inconvenient, wouldn't it be more useful for your patch if it made it easier and more convenient the procedure "to sync up .git/config first", instead of bypassing the current setup?
