Hi,

These patches were rotting in my tree so I thought I should try sending them out. Maybe they can be useful.

The theme: settings from the inherited environment like GIT_PAGER can break tests in undesirable ways. For example,

 GIT_PAGER=more sh t5400-send-pack.sh -v -i

hangs.

Jonathan Nieder (3):
  tests: protect against GIT_ATTR_NOGLOBAL from environment
  tests: suppress global and system gitattributes
  tests: scrub environment of GIT_* variables
