If the.gitconfig file includes anincludeIf directive, the config parser doesn't respect it.

~/.gitconfig file contents:

[includeIf "gitdir:~/work/git/"]        path = ~/.gitconfig.work[user]        email = my@email.com        name = Me        useconfigonly = true

~/.gitconfig.work contents

[user]        email: work@email.com        name = Work

Change to the~/work/git/project directory and rungit config -l and notice that the name is set toWork. Running the following in a Python REPL

import osfrom git import Reporepo = Repo(os.getcwd())repo.repo.config_reader().get_value("user", "name")'Me'

And if the user hasn't got a default user setting in the~/gitconfig file, it will throwConfigParser.NoSectionError: No section: 'user' which is expected.

Config parser should support theincludeIf directive in the config file.
