So the default .git/config that was prepared by "git init" is
discarded and replaced with this?  Shouldn't it be

	cat >>.git/config <<\EOF

instead?

Most of tests like t1300-repo-config.sh or t1303-wacky-config.sh
clears the default config, will it be okay to clear it in
this test series also? I need it for
test_expect_success 'proper error on error in default config files' '
which requires me to compare the line no at which the error was found.

Hmmm, wasn't the whole point of the helper to allow us to make
things like the above into a one-liner, perhaps like this?

      check_config get_value_multi case.baz sam bat hask

Noted and corrected.

I suspect the same applies to most if not all uses of test-config
in the remainder of this patch.

I cant use it for configset_get_value_* as it may have variable number
of files as arguments. :)
