Git has conditional includes based on path[1]. My configuration is like:

On ~/.gitconfig

  [user]
    name = personal
    email = personal@example.com

  [includeIF "gitdir:~/workspace/"]
    path = ~/work.gitconfig

Then on ~/work.gitconfig

  [user]
    name = workname
    email = work@example.com

Just a note of caution, when this feature was added tools based on libgit2 did not understand it. I just checked now, libgit2 eventually added support (though it took 5 months since I filed the ticket). But if you're using any tools that have a 3-year-old version of libgit2 they might not understand it.
