Ah, thanks; I missed --git-path.  I will do this in Git/SVN.pm:

I'm not sure it's necessary given the convenience of command_oneline,
and I'd rather avoid the overhead of documenting+supporting a new API
for Git.pm

I think there was a place where $GIT_DIR/config was used, but
only for documentation purposes.
