Yes, git should treat it the same as if it were mentioned in
$HOME/.gitconfig (modulo the correct spelling of "core.excludesfile").
It will override any core.excludesfile found in a system-level or
user-level git config file.

In general, git does not care about the exact source of config
variables. Options in more specific files override less-specific ones,
but there is no per-variable code that cares specifically about the
location of core.excludesfile or any other option.
