A direct write to the repository config with `--file .git/config` was allowed there because the path check compared a backslash-separated path with `.git/config`; it now compares with `/` separators, so the write is refused on Windows as elsewhere. The comparison also ignores case, since Windows and default macOS file systems fold it: `.GIT/CONFIG` is the same file."
