+ * and how to read repository-local config.
+ *
+ * So if we _aren't_ in a repository (or we are but we would reject its
+ * core.repositoryformatversion), we'll read whatever is in .git/config
+ * blindly. Similarly, if we _are_ in a repository, but not at the
+ * root, we'll fail to find .git/config (because it's really
+ * ../.git/config, etc). See t7006 for a complete set of failures.
+ *
+ * However, we have historically provided this hack because it does
+ * work some of the time (namely when you are at the top-level of a
+ * valid repository), and would rarely make things worse (i.e., you do
+ * not generally have a .git/config file sitting around).
