includeIf appears to not be working

["Joshua J. Kugler" <joshua@azariah.com>]

So, I've set up includeIf before, and have had it working, but it seems to not 
be working in my latest attempt.

This is git 2.38.2 on Ubuntu Linux 20.04.

Contents of ~/.gitconfig (truncated):

[user]
        name = Joshua Kugler
        email = joshua@personal.com
[includIf "gitdir:~/repos/work/"]
        path = ~/repos/work/gitconfig

Contents of ~/repos/work/gitconfig:

[user]
        name = Joshua Kugler
        email = joshua@work.io

Now, if I do this:

cd /home/jkugler/repos/work/some_repo

and run:

$ git config --show-origin --get user.email
file:/home/jkugler/.gitconfig   joshua@personal.com

Like I said, I've set this up before, and had it working. I don't know what 
I'm doing differently/wrong...but would be happy to be told so.

Is there a debug command which can show if the gitdir is/isn't matching like I 
thought it should?  What other command output could help debug this?

Thanks!
