Could it be better to set ETC_GITCONFIG=/etc/gitconfig /only/ if prefix is /usr?

These would possibly make all people who have git in /usr/local or in /opt/Git
or in /home happier...

If I am not wrong, /usr is the only prefix, where, for historical reasons
there is no /usr/etc but /etc is used.  Having /usr/local/etc does not seem that
bad. And /opt/Git/etc appears surely ok.
