Ok, now you're making more sense. :)
I don't think anyone was proposing dropping support for .gitconfig.
But:
Any patch to add support for ~/.config/git should of course take care
to include a rationale that answers this question. (I am guessing
that putting all user git configuration in one directory is part of
the goal, and separating temporary files like ~/.fontconfig/*.cache*
from configuration files like ~/.mutt/muttrc is another part.)
Ciao,
Jonathan
