Thanks for digging that up! I had 2.1.13 at hand in a fedora-25 chroot which I used to build git recently, but I've not been able to coax the test failures from it, yet. I'll try a little more and with some different gnupg versions before I punt.

If it's a small range of gnupg versions which fail badly when the GNUPGHOME dir is removed, then there's far less reason for git to do much more than make an effort to kill the agent.

It seems like all the gnupg versions which may suffer from the bug also support gpgconf --kill, which would make any further change in the test to handle versions which lack the --kill option moot.
