Adding configuration to the config makes things feel far less exotic. I think these changes certainly improve things, but there's still plenty of room to go further.

I think there should probably be a way to specify canonical git configuration for things like hooks and LFS and all of that. It would be nice if when you clone, git prompts you to trust the remote config or to ask you to accept each new change as they come or fully reject them.

Having to scrape through the readme of every repo and then run arbitrary scripts doesn't seem like the most secure solution. When there's a canonical flow gitlab GitHub and all the tooling can support it and have proper permissions around it.

It's really disappointing how much lack of empathy there is when talking about new git features. Forget empathy. There's outright disdain for discussing alternative workflows.
