Probably yes. Programs like Apache HTTPD, rsyslog and others just use
${foo}conf.d by convention by supporting config inclusion.

What would be the ideal config syntax for that? AFAICT git-config
doesn't (yet) support top-level keys so maybe this:

    [INCLUDE]
        path = ~/.gitconfig.d/*

Or if top-level support was added:

    INCLUDE = ~/.gitconfig.d/*
