[PATCH 0/1] config: add back code comment

[Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name>]

This is a follow-up to the kh/maintenance-use-xdg-when-it-should
[series] which was merged in 12ee4ed506 (Merge branch
'kh/maintenance-use-xdg-when-it-sho.., 2024-01-26).

I dropped a code comment while iterating on a refactor. It still makes
as much sense in this context as before the refactor (it’s a _refactor_
in the sense of “don’t change code behavior”).

The code comment was moved to `config.c` in patch v1 3/4.[1] But review
feedback said that this comment didn’t fit in this new place and that we
shouldn’t `die()` in `git_global_config`. So in v2 3/4[2] I removed the
comment in `git_global_config`. But I forgot to put the comment back to
its original place, where it still makes as much sense as before my
series.

[Here] is the diff when I squash this patch into c15129b699 (config:
factor out global config file retrieval, 2024-01-18).

Sorry about the churn.
