FWIW, `git clone --config ...' doesn't touch global git config either.
This should be mentioned before a procedure like you propose, I think.
That's what I tried to document with the patch in my previous message:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-08/msg00416.html.
I'm not even sure if the procedure of "how to fix an already checked out
repository" should be part of this document.
Maybe `git clone --config ...' should be the preferred choice over the
option of altering the global git config?
