I was playing with a new GIT_TEST boolean environment variable, mistyped it's value, and then it took me surprisingly long to figure out why the damn tests were not doing what I thought they should.

So now I'm fairly convinced that it's definitely worth doing. And the callsites look much nicer, too.

These patches should apply cleanly both on current 'master' or on 'sg/git-test-boolean' (i.e. the email thread I'm replying to). We haven't introduced any new 'git env--helper' invocations in the test suite/framework since then.
