Indeed it is in our patches:

        https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/commit/3a4c37b22

(short version: we carry some patches that simplify locking the config
file before building on top of it, and somehow we agreed back in the days
when this patch was written that it would be a good idea if that code
created leading directories.)

I will fix this issue in Git for Windows, but I still think that my patch
brings a usability improvement: the error message is just so much more to
the point (will submit v2 in a moment).

Ciao,
Dscho
