Neither slash or "./" at the beginning...

...then yeah it looks pretty good. With the exception of  "./" we can
still have paths relative to where the the config file is. For
$HOME/.gitconfig that  eliminates the need for expanding "~"
($HOME/.config/git/config may still need it, unless we allow "../"
too, but that complicates matching).
