This change adds new behavior (fallback to non-global git config scopes), but the existing tests only validate the global case. Please add a test that sets user.name/user.email in a local repo config (or system config) while keeping global unset, and assert GetGitConfig returns the non-global value to prevent regressions of the original bug.

The blank lines in this function contain trailing whitespace (tabs/spaces). Please run gofmt / remove the whitespace so the file stays clean and avoids noisy diffs in future changes.
