Excellent.
The option, e.g. --system, does not have to translate to "let's see
which file does the option mean, OK, it is /etc/gitconfig so do the
same thing as --file /etc/gitconfig". Instead, we can treat it as
"do the usual config sequence but ignore everything but the system
config". And that would handle a class like --global that can have
more than one input source in a lot more natural way.
Very good.
