The fix for this is pretty straightforward. However, I took the
opportunity to do some cleanup and fix some minor bugs while I was in
the area, and ended up with quite a big series.

I prepared this on top of what you have queued in jk/config-include.
However, all of the cleanup is semantically independent of the topic
(though there are a few minor textual conflicts). If I were re-rolling,
I would put it all at the front, then squash patch 8 into my prior
"implement config includes" patch.

The patches are:

  [1/8]: t1300: add missing &&-chaining

Obvious cleanup.

  [2/8]: config: copy the return value of prefix_filename

Very minor bug.

  [3/8]: config: teach git_config_set_multivar_in_file a default path
  [4/8]: config: teach git_config_rename_section a file argument
  [5/8]: config: provide a version of git_config with more options
  [6/8]: config: stop using config_exclusive_filename
  [7/8]: config: eliminate config_exclusive_filename

This is all cleanup which makes config_exclusive_filename go away. It's
not strictly necessary for this series, but it's something I've been
wanting to clean up for a while. And it does fix a few minor bugs (see
patch 6/8). And the refactoring in 5/8 lays the groundwork for 8/8.

  [8/8]: config: do not respect includes for single-file --list

The actual fix for the regression in my config-include patch.
