No.

  expecting success: git config --rename-section branch.eins branch.zwei
  fatal: No such section!
  not ok - 50 rename section
  #       git config --rename-section branch.eins branch.zwei

The problem is that the last 'git config' worked on other-config due to
variable GIT_CONFIG. Test 50 should work now on .git/config, but as
GIT_CONFIG is still set, it doesn't and fails.
