There are platforms that lack unsetenv(3C), so you also need an
emulation similar to what we do for setenv(3) in
compat/setenv.c.

I suspect GIT_DIR is automatically set up by enter_repo on the
other side when upload-pack (for fetch case) or receive-pack
(for push case) is run, so that may not be necessary, but
cleaning it along with others here sounds sane, even if only for
consistency's sake.
