The intent is that it would work as you expect, and produce
local-em...@example.com.

Ugh. The config code just feeds all the values sequentially to the
callback. The normal callbacks within git will overwrite old values,
whether from earlier in the file, from a file with lower priority (e.g.,
/etc/gitconfig versus ~/.gitconfig), or from an earlier included. Which
you can check with:

  $ git var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT
  Luser <local-em...@example.com> 1350936694 -0400

But git-config takes it upon itself to detect duplicates in its
callback. Which is just silly, since it is not something that regular
git would do. git-config should behave as much like the internal git
parser as possible.

Agreed. But I think the bug is in git-config, not in the include
mechanism. I think I'd like to do something like the patch below, which
just reuses the regular config code for git-config, collects the values,
and then reports them. It does mean we use a little more memory (for the
sake of simplicity, we store values instead of streaming them out), but
the code is much shorter, less confusing, and automatically matches what
regular git_config() does.

It fails a few tests in t1300, but it looks like those tests are testing
for the behavior we have identified as wrong, and should be fixed.
