test-lib: add helper functions for config
There are a few common tasks when working with configuration
variables in tests; this patch aims to make them a little
easier to write and less error-prone.
When setting a variable, you should typically make sure to
clean it up after the test is finished, so as not to pollute
other tests. Like:
test_when_finished 'git config --unset foo.bar' &&
git config foo.bar baz
This patch lets you just write:
test_config foo.bar baz
When clearing a variable that does not exist, git-config
will report a specific non-zero error code. Meaning that
tests which call "git config --unset" often either rely on
the prior tests having actually set it, or must use
test_might_fail. With this patch, the previous:
test_might_fail git config --unset foo.bar
becomes:
test_unconfig foo.bar
Not only is this easier to type, but it is more robust; it
will correctly detect errors from git-config besides "key
was not set".
