I found that since test_unconfig uses --unset-all, I can write a test as such

    test_config -C two remote.one.push +: &&
    test_must_fail git -C two push one &&
    git -C two config --add remote.one.push ^refs/heads/master &&
    git -C two push one

The unconfig of the test_config will --unset-all remote.one.push. I can use this technique and add a comment to that extent.
