I think Junio has responded to the rest of this and is more familiar
with it than I am, but we don't allow repository configuration to be
shipped in the repo. That's because in general configuration can
contain programs or shell commands and thus execute arbitrary code, so
doing so would be a security problem.
Experiences with Vim modelines have shown that embedding configuration,
even when highly restricted, can be the cause of lots of security
vulnerabilities, and we've seen this with config used by submodules in
the past. For that and many other reasons, including the fact that
users may not care what upstream's preferred settings are, it's
extremely unlikely that we'll add any automatic way to ship
configuration in the repository.
