How to avoid reading the global user git config [message #1855720]

Is it possible to instruct JGit not to read the global gitconfig from the user home (~/.gitconfig), and the system gitconfig either?

It is possible to customize the SystemReader for that. But in my application the JGit library is used by different clients, and other clients need the standard JGit behavior accessing the ~/.gitconfig. Since the SystemReader is a singleton, it is not possible to customize it only for a part of the application.

I'm thinking of subclassing the FileRepository to override the getConfig() method, but I don't like this solution since it will require manual creation of the FileRepository object instead of using the RepositoryBuilder, and also can break with a future update of JGit.

Are there any other ways to do it? Thanks a lot.
