Other methods in the Git resolver do exactly this so we should lean into it here as well.

We're only reading config file directly in valid_repository?. I don't know the reason for this, but it appears we could just use git config instead. Going through the CLI is easier and safer. The git configuration format is quite powerful and supports some forms of indirection that we would need to take into account. I'd prefer to avoid parsing config file directly if possible. Going through the CLI should always be better.

You mentioned in #628 (comment) that you couldn't get the expected behaviour to work. But it's not quite clear to me what didn't work and why. It seems that it should be possible to do this without reading the config file directly.

In order to understand whether this is working as expected, we should add a spec to test the behaviour.
