[PATCH v2 0/9] allow customizing /etc/gitconfig location with an environment

This ended up growing quite a bit, and I mostly hate it.
 - Patch 1 introduces GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM_PATH environment variable
   that lets you point at a file other than /etc/gitconfig to
   pretend that your file is the system-wide configuration.
 - Patch 2 is a small bugfix.
 - Patches 3-7 are updates to 1300 and 1308, i.e. tests for "git
   config", to make them more robust, in preparation for using
   GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM_PATH mechanism to point at a file during the
   test.  It protects them a bit more than necessary in that the
   variables some of the tests they use when they try to see the
   output from "git config --get" are unlikely to appear in the fake
   system-wide configuration during the test (hence disabling the
   fake system-wide configuration has no practical effect), but
   nevertheless the calls are protected by explicitly telling them
   to read only from --local configuration file to future-proof
   them.
 - Patch 8 is queued elsewhere already.
 - Patch 9 raises the default core.abbrev to 12 and countermands it
   by setting it to 7 in a fake system-wide configuration file
   during our test.  The unconditional widening of the default
   abbreviation size in this patch will have to be discarded,
   preferring the approach Linus is taking to auto-size it based on
   the number of objects in the repository, but the part that
   updates the test script may still be necessary.

  t1300: check also system-wide configuration file in --show-origin
    tests
Junio C Hamano (8):
  config: allow customizing /etc/gitconfig location with an environment
  t1300: always compare expect to actual
  t1308: ignore system-wide config in the iteration test
  t1300: disable system-wide config for tests that wants to read from -c
  t1300: take contents of system-wide configuration into account in
    "--list" test
  t1300: be explicit in local configuration tests
  worktree: honor configuration variables
  core.abbrev: raise the default abbreviation to 12 hexdigits
