It makes sense to me. It just means that "--local" itself gets completed
(while the other hunk is about using the presence of "--local" impacting
other completion). It's an orthogonal issue, but I don't mind them in
the same patch.

It doesn't affect writing at all. The change is in
__git_config_get_set_variables, which is used only here:

  --get|--get-all|--unset|--unset-all)
        __gitcomp_nl "$(__git_config_get_set_variables)"

So it is purely about completing existing variables, and it's right to
limit itself to a particular file if we know that is what has been
given.

I'm not sure I understand the original poster's point about "git config
-l --local". "-l" does not take a limiter, does it?
