It always read it for non--global
$> ( HOME=/tmp/HOME; rm -rf $HOME; mkdir -p $HOME/.config/git; echo -e
"[user]\n name=home" > $HOME/.gitconfig; echo -e "[user]\n name=xdg\n
name2=xdg2" > $HOME/.config/git/config; git config user.name; git config
user.name2; )
home
xdg2
and it doesn't read it for --global
$> ( HOME=/tmp/HOME; rm -rf $HOME; mkdir -p $HOME/.config/git; echo -e
"[user]\n name=home" > $HOME/.gitconfig; echo -e "[user]\n name=xdg\n
name2=xdg2" > $HOME/.config/git/config; git config --global user.name; git
config --global user.name2; )
home
unless ~/.gitconfig is missing
$> ( HOME=/tmp/HOME; rm -rf $HOME; mkdir -p $HOME/.config/git; echo -e
"[user]\n name=xdg\n name2=xdg2" > $HOME/.config/git/config; git config
--global user.name; git config --global user.name2; )
xdg
xdg2
