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.

It is a shame that with this defined in the main part of the system
test-tool still needs to carry its own private copy.

I wonder if it results in a better system if we rename this to

	const char *config_scope_name(enum config_scope scope)

made it externally visible, and use it in t/helper/test-config.c
and get rid of the private copy scope_name() there?

And this is the logical place to make an external definition, if we
were to go that route.

The HERE-DOC is over-indented.  All the body lines should align with
cat and EOF.  The same comment applies to many "<<-" added by this
patch---mimick the "<<-" that appear in earlier part of the same
file.

Missing blank line between two tests.

I wonder if we want to revamp the tests for --show-origin that wants
to make sure a funny filename is quoted properly.  For that purpose,
CUSTOM_CONFIG_FILE is given a funny pathname, and it would have been
OK to use that only for a single "do we quote properly?" test, but
instead we use that same funnily-named file as the source in many
places where we do not *care* how --show-origin quotes the pathname
at all, and end up having to skip with !MINGW.

It's a bad tradition that started at 45bf3297 ("t1300: fix the new
--show-origin tests on Windows", 2016-03-23), I guess, and is not a
new problem introduced by this patch, but it should stop so that we
can have a better test coverage everywhere.

Other than that, I think that the new feature added by this series
is a sensible one.  Thanks for working on it.

+1 and please keep the order in config_scope_name the same as in the
enum definition. Will base my 'remote rename &
branch.<name>.pushRemote'  series on this then.

I was mimicking the style of the --show-origin tests, and didn't realize this
was a style violation.  This is done in a few tests, so I'll add a patch
that just goes through the file and fixes that for the existing tests as well.
