(It's unfortunate that Debian shipped 8.3 with +that bug.

Making the test suite set `GIT_CONFIG` to the config of +each test repo it runs git-annex in seems like it would +work; this prevents git from reading the user and global configs. + +The test suite could set all config values to defaults +in the test git repos.
