From: Matthew Rogers <mattr94@gmail.com>

When a user queries config values with --show-origin, often it's
difficult to determine what the actual "scope" (local, global, etc.) of
a given value is based on just the origin file.

Teach 'git config' the '--show-scope' option to print the scope of all
displayed config values.  Note that we should never see anything of
"submodule" scope as that is only ever used by submodule-config.c when
parsing the '.gitmodules' file.

for clarity, I think this patch should be split up further.

For example:

  - moving an enum and adding a new entry should be avoided
  - does the changes to '/config.c' fix something?
  - exposing config_scope_name should have been done before PATCH 4/6 already

Best,
Bert

As far as adding a new entry, that could probably be done in a separate patch.
The submodule scoping is correct (mostly so config options that come from
submodule blobs have a sane value to set the new scope field of
git_config_source), but moving it is unavoidable as I'd either have to move
config_scope or git_config_source for this patch to work, and moving
git_config_source seemed like a ton more work

>   - does the changes to '/config.c' fix something?

Another thing, that in hindsight could probably be split out. The other changes
do fix the fact that previously recursive calls to do_git_config_sequence()
would blow awway the current_parsing_scope information for higher level callers.
This is not super common, but does occur when --show-scope is used with the
--blob option.

>   - exposing config_scope_name should have been done before PATCH 4/6 already

If that's better/more convenient, I don't have a problem breaking that
out and moving
it there.

Alright.  Thanks for another round of review.
