I'm actually mildly negative on this feature, as it interferes with the
tests themselves. Probably TERM and SHELL don't matter. But $HOME means
git will read your personal .gitconfig, not any config (or lack thereof)
in the trash directory.

I've personally been left head-scratching in the past by:

  $ ./tXXXX-foo -v -i
  ...
  expecting success: git foo
  not ok - 1 git foo

  $ cd trash\ directory.tXXXX-foo
  $ git foo ;# and it works!

where the culprit was a non-clean environment caused by my personal git
config (or very occasionally, something else in $HOME).
