One other issue. If "git config --default ..." fails, the --unset line
will never be invoked, thus cleanup won't happen.

To ensure cleanup, either use:

    test_when_finished "git config --unset core.foo" &&

earlier in the test (just after the --add line) or use the
test_config() function to both set the value and ensure its cleanup.
