Let's include this in the main patch. We don't split up tests into their own patches like this.

This can just be on one line. We're not strict about 79 characters in tests.

Fine, but FYI sets these variables for the rest of the test.

But more importantly there should be a test for how the various override interactions between the config & env variables work. I.e. whether GIT_COMMITTER_NAME set in the env will override "user.email" etc.

Show 6 quoted lines

This should use "test_config" so it'll be unset after this test.

Should use something like test_cmp so that on failure we see what the difference is. I'd just do:

    cat >expected <<EOF... &&
    git log --format="an:%an%nae:%ae[...]" -1 >actual &&
    test_cmp ...
