The original is not easy to read, but this is not that much of an
improvement. I think what the original wants to say is
- write to global `~/.gitconfig`
- but write to the XDG place instead, if XDG one exists and
~/.gitconfig does not exist
How about touching a bit more, e.g.
For writing, rather than writing the per-repository config
file .git/config, write to the global config file, which is
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config (if it exists), or
$HOME/.gitconfig (otherwise).
to streamline the description?

Correct, even though I would say s/thus ignoring/in order to ignore/
instead ;-)
Thanks.
