Config file reading order is important because each file can override values in the previous files and this is expected behavior. Normally we read in this order, all in do_git_config_sequence():
1. $HOME/.gitconfig 2. $GIT_DIR/config 3. config from command line However in read_early_config() the order may be swapped a bit if setup_git_directory() has not been called: 1. $HOME/.gitconfig 2. $GIT_DIR/config is NOT read because .git dir is not found _yet_ 3. config from command line 4. $GIT_DIR/config is now READ (after discover_git_directory() call) The reading at step 4 could override config at step 3, which is not the expectation. Now that we could pass the .git dir around, we could feed discover_git_directory() back to step 2, so that it works again, and remove step 4.
