"were still using" is only a half of the story, and we need to be
more careful than that, though.

By switching to test_config, you unconfigure the diff.mnemonicprefix
configuration after this test piece is done.  The next one, "diff in
message is retained with -v", used to show the change using c/ and
i/ as prefixes in the log editor, but now it should be showing a/
and b/.

Have you thought about the reason why the log message used in that
test uses c/ and i/ prefixes as a sample patch to be retained,
instead of a/ and b/ prefixes?  It is to make sure that this
in-message patch looks similar to the diff for "--verbose" option,
and we used to do the latter under mnemonicprefix.  That way, we
would be more sure that an incorrect implementation that cuts the
result given from the editor at "diff --git $srcprefix/" will fail
the test.

This is the kind of thing I mean by "we need to be more careful".

If somebody who is doing "git config to test_config" conversion
understands what he is doing, I would have expected to see that
these c/ and i/ prefixes in the sample log message are replaced
to use a/ and b/ prefixes.

Can we make a similar reasoning on possible fallout from this
change?  An expected answer would be something like:

    The remaining test pieces after this one does not make any
    change before running "commit -a -v", so having diff.submodule
    set to log or unset does not make any difference to them.
