This allows users to run git config commands without having to set up permissions. The config file is marked as noreplace to respect the user's content.

A %ghost may also work, but I'm not sure.

This came up in theforeman/foreman-documentation#3243 and I think this can simplify the procedure for users.

Would this leave us with %{foreman_dir}/.config/ and %{foreman_dir}/.config/git/ being not owned by this package or any other package? I think so what makes me think we need then to add two %dir directives for them.

I thought about that when writing it, but wasn't quite sure. It reminds that #9705 should be finished up as well.

If/When this is merged, we should submit a docs update to simplify the procedure.
