[PATCH] t1300: fix unset of GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM leaking into subsequent tests

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>

Apr 23, 2021, 05:47 UTC
Message-ID
<5b69d9d34e4bdf1c7eb3b172ad8ef0f78542c789.1619156659.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To

In order to test whether the new GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM environment variable behaves as expected, we unset GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM in one of our tests in t1300. But because tests are not executed in a subshell, this unset leaks into all subsequent tests and may thus cause them to fail in some environments. These failures are easily reproducable with `make prefix=/root test`.

Fix the issue by not using `sane_unset GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM`, but instead just manually add it to the environment of the two command invocations which need it.
