Instead of `get_option('sysconfdir') + '/gitconfig'` you can say
`get_option('sysconfdir') / 'gitconfig'`. It's a bit pointless in this
case and not really needed, but '/' has some special magic for handling
absolute and relative paths.

Nit: let's maybe add an empty newline after each of these blocks to make
it a bit easier to see where handling for each specific option stops.

Makes sense. Should we maybe document the default values here now that
they aren't immediately obvious anymore?
