Thanks for testing - I was fully convinced that the new test case
did cover all problems - but proved to be wrong.

I think that I may be able to offer a v4 patch, which has better test cases.
From my understanding, the reading of the local/repo .git/config does
not work as we need it, since the .git/ directroy is determined after
the config has been read. And so it is never read.
Having said that, a patch relying on the global .gitconfig may still
be an improvement on it's own.
