With your change in place, how do you know if the config item has been explicitly set in your system? The closest thing I can see for doing this is git config --list, but perhaps there should be a flag to check if a config item is set? More to the point, I can easily imagine many scripts relying on git config returning a value to indicate that a config item has been set. Your proposed change would break all those. For that reason, it might be nicer to introduce a flag that returns the config if it is set or the default otherwise. Something like git config --value perhaps.
