What is the current situation if credential.helper is set twice in the same config file.

Either
[credential]
  helper = first
  helper = second

or with
[credential]
  helper = first

[credenital]
  helper = second

Will both be used by git clone?

How do i remove these from the command line? I tried git config --unset credential.helper but that only gives you a warning and does not remove any.

Worse is that if second is the empty string there is no way for one to know there is a second set unless he tries to delete the first one. But one still cannot query the value of the second.
