OK.  I think this is very much futureproof and a sensible thing to
have a "platform_core_config()" call here.  That way, we do not have
to say the details of what platform specific thing each platform
wants when init_db_config works.

And from that point of view, replacing `core.hidedotfiles` with
something like "platform specific core config" would be more
appropriate.

We use git_init_db_config from create_default_files(), which is a
function called several lines after this point; shouldn't that now
be removed from create_default_files()?

This is not incorrect per-se, but I think most tests do the mkdir
outside subshell, i.e.

	rm -rf newdir &&
	mkdir newdir &&
	(
		cd newdir &&
		sane_unset ... &&
		...
	) &&

Other than these, I find nothing questionable in the patch.  Nicely
done.
