If not set explicitly with `--file`, there are four files where
'git config' will search for configuration options:
$PROGRAMDATA/Git/config::
(Windows-only) System-wide configuration file shared with other Git
implementations. Typically `$PROGRAMDATA` points to `C:\ProgramData`.
$(prefix)/etc/gitconfig::
System-wide configuration file.
(Windows-only) This file contains only the settings which are
specific for this installation of Git for Windows and which should
not be shared with other Git implementations like JGit, libgit2.

On Windows, as there is no central `/etc/` directory, there is yet another
config file (located at `$PROGRAMDATA/Git/config`), intended to contain
settings for *all* Git-related software running on the machine. Consequently,
this config file takes an even lower precedence than the
`$(prefix)/etc/gitconfig` file. Typically `$PROGRAMDATA` points to
`C:\ProgramData` (on Windows XP the equivalent in `$ALLUSERSPROFILE` is used,
i.e. `C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Git\config`).
If no further options are given, all reading options will read all of these
files that are available. If the global or the system-wide configuration
file are not available they will be ignored. If the repository configuration
