This test wants to do git -c x.two=2 config --get-regexp ^x\.* and see x.two that came from the one-shot configuration in its output. This form cannot be limited with "--local", as it limits the input to the local configuration file and makes these one-shot settings ignored. At this point, the test knows that there is no variable that match x.* in its local configuration, and it also was OK to assume that there is nothing in the system-wide config or global one. Make sure that assumption holds by using the GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM environment, as we may add anything to t/gitconfig-for-test later.
