Makes sense. The "at least" part made me scratch my head at first, but your explanation in response to Ævar made sense.

Two minor nits:

We've discussed recently how the return value from getenv() isn't stable. It looks like we could assign it much closer to the point-of-use here (which still isn't 100% foolproof, but I think is something we could encourage as a general pattern, and mostly works due to our ring-buffer technique).

I.e., right before this conditional:

It's more idiomatic in our code base to check for a non-empty string as:
  if (git_test_v && *git_test_v)
though obviously that's pretty minor.
