Hmph.  I am looking at "git show HEAD^:t/t0001-init.sh" after
applying this patch, and it does look consistently done with
GIT_CONFIG and GIT_DIR (I am not sure about GIT_WORK_TREE but from a
cursory read it is done consistently for tests on non-bare
repositories).

So I would actually agree with your alternative interpretation
"Unsetting these is useless, but it does serve documentation
purpose---without having to see what the state of the environment
when the subprocess is started, the reader can understand what is
being tested", rather than the one in the log message.

Having said that, I am perfectly OK with the change to t0001 in this
patch, if we added at the very beginning of the test sequence a
comment that says:

    Below, creation and use of repositories are tested with various
    combinations of environment settings and command line flags.
    They are done inside subshells to avoid leaking temporary
    environment settings to later tests *and* assumes that the
    initial environment does not have have GIT_DIR, GIT_CONFIG, and
    GIT_WORK_TREE defined.

or something.
