Then various other bits of config won't be persistent, such as font
settings.  So I don't think that's a good idea.

It would be possible to make the config file be per-repository rather
than global, I guess, if that is something people want.  I personally
would find it annoying to have to change the font separately in each
repository, but tastes differ, I guess.
