git fails to create its settings file without help

Description
This used to work, I am relatively sure:
/Code SSD/haiku/src/apps/haiku-depot> git config --global user.email "superstippi@gmx.de" error: could not lock config file /boot/home/config/settings/git/config: No such file or directory
And it works as soon as one creates that "git" folder in settings. (I.e. git then creates the file "config" in that folder.) I am unable to say whether this is an issue with a newer port of git, or something got broken with PM.

It's an issue with git port. The config file was formerly "$HOME/.gitconfig", so its parent directory always existed. Now it potentially has to create the parent directory, which isn't considered yet.
