There is no rationale given in the commit message, but I assume it is
"this spews useless crap to the terminal that interferes with the usual
test output".

However, this seems like the wrong direction. We already have a nice
test infrastructure that redirects test output away from the user and
respects "--verbose" to turn it back on. t5500 does quite a bit of work
outside the test harness, and it makes more sense to me to move it
inside. That would take care of your useless spew, _and_ it would help
detect failures in a more robust way.

In other words:

Why not:

  test_expect_success 'setup client repo' '
    mkdir client &&
    (cd client &&
     git init 2>>log2.txt &&
     git config transfer.unpacklimit 0
    )
  '
