Maybe I misunderstood the example, but from the description I read there
are 2 cases: one has "global + file-local" and the other has "global +
dir-local".
So it seems those two cases should give the same result since the priority
ordering for "global vs file-local" is the same as that for "global vs
dir-local".
Yet IIUC those two cases give different results, which would seem to
imply that somewhere "global" takes precedence over either "file-local"
or "dir-local", which I think would be wrong.
I don't have the time to reproduce it, let alone dig into it any
further, and in any case I'm sure you already know what I'm writing, so
I'll just presume there's either a misunderstanding on my side or on the
side of the OP.
