FWIW I do not have problem with that endgame. I wonder if anybody wants to get their hands dirty. It should be a quite straight-forward to split a helper (or three) out of the do_git_config_sequence() helper, but the interface from cmd_config() to call into config.c to read a specific "class" of config file is the same codepath as a single file, so a major part of this work will be to design how to extend the interface to do the limited "sequence" thing.
