Ah, interesting, I was looking for such a list but only found the more generic one in cache.h By comparing them it would seem they serve the same purpose, indeed. I notice that the connect.c is missing GIT_CONFIG (which _must_ be unset for us). I also notice that the connect.c one unsets the alternate DB; I had doubts about it when preparing the list in this case.

I will resend a new patch to replace this one, syncing the two lists.

I tend to conserve vertical space, but I have no particular objection to that.
