I knew this can be done, and you are capable of doing this, but
I was wondering if it is a good thing to do in the first place.

Site-wide configuration for options that are potentially
compatibility-breaking is a bad idea on a multi-user machines,
and it was certainly the case back when our machines hosted many
diverse set of people.

But these days many machines are practically single-user and
many more are owned by a single group/project that share the
same policy.  So in such a setting, /etc/gitconfig might not be
too bad.
