"First-Time Git Setup" docs about .gitconfig are incorrect as of Git For Windows v2.24

Apri la pagina Getting Started—First-Time Git Setup e individua il paragrafo che descrive i percorsi di .gitconfig su Windows; quindi trova il testo corrispondente nel codice sorgente di Pro Git. Aggiornalo in modo che rifletta la posizione attuale della configurazione di sistema di Git for Windows, oppure circoscrivi chiaramente il percorso relativo alla versione precedente, e verifica che la pagina generata non fornisca più indicazioni obsolete.

Describe the bug:

On this page, there is the following paragraph (emphasis mine):

On Windows systems, Git looks for the .gitconfig file in the $HOME directory (C:\Users\$USER for most people). It also still looks for [path]/etc/gitconfig, although it’s relative to the MSys root, which is wherever you decide to install Git on your Windows system when you run the installer. If you are using version 2.x or later of Git for Windows, there is also a system-level config file at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Git\config on Windows XP, and in C:\ProgramData\Git\config on Windows Vista and newer. This config file can only be changed by git config -f <file> as an admin.

As of git-for-windows/git#2358, this is incorrect. As described in the release notes:

Note! As a consequence of making git config --system work as expected, the location of the system config is now C:\Program Files\Git\etc\gitconfig (no longer split between C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\etc\gitconfig and C:\ProgramData\Git\config), and likewise the location of the system gitattributes is now C:\Program Files\Git\etc\gitattributes (no longer C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\etc\gitattributes). Any manual modifications to C:\ProgramData\Git\config need to be ported manually.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-First-Time-Git-Setup
2. Read text :)

Expected behavior:

I think we could change this to say something like:

On Windows systems, Git looks for the global .gitconfig file in the %USERPROFILE% directory (C:\Users\%USERNAME% for most people). It also looks for the system config file at [path]/etc/gitconfig, where [path] is wherever Git was installed on your system. If you are using Git for Windows version between v2.0.0 and v2.23.0, there is also a secondary system-level config file at %PROGRAMDATA%\Git\config (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Git\config on Windows XP, or C:\ProgramData\Git\config on Windows Vista and newer). This config file can only be changed by git config -f <file> as an admin.

Or we could simply ignore versions of GFW that are 2+ years old:

On Windows systems, Git looks for the global .gitconfig file in the %USERPROFILE% directory (C:\Users\%USERNAME% for most people). It also looks for the system config file at [path]/etc/gitconfig, where [path] is wherever Git was installed on your system.
