I've already wasted several hours whipping t1300 into shape, because it was done in not so forward-looking future-proofed way. I am not worried about core.abbrev but I am worried more about the next thing that requires us to add an entry to t/gitconfig-for-test. Adding a corresponding entry to retain the old default for that new config to two places may not be a big deal, but it still makes me feel a bit uneasy. In any case, I suspect that Linus's "auto" thing may still need the custom system config with t1300 clean-up to pass the test, even though I suspect it would compute that 7 is enough for most of the tiny repositories our tests use, so I'll polish this a bit more while waiting for that discussion to settle. Thanks.
