Don't use "git config", but "test_config" at the start, then you don't
need the --unset at the end, it'll happen automatically. Ditto for the
following tests.
More importantly, test_config arranges the unset to happen even if
a step in the middle (e.g. test_expect_code in the above example)
fails. In the posted version, the control would not reach the
"git config --unset" and leaves the configuration behind.
And that is the biggest reason why the above should use test_config.
Thanks for a good suggestion.
