Earlier, dc87183 (use GIT_CONFIG only in "git config", not other programs, 2008-06-30) made sure that the environment variable is never used outside "git config", but "git clone", after creating a directory for the new repository and until the init_db() function populates its .git/ directory, exported the variable for no good reason. No hook will run from init_db() and more importantly no hook can run until init_db() finishes creation of the new repository, so it cannot be used by any invocation of "git config" by definition. Stop doing the useless export/unexport.
