Is this pointer arithmetic undefined behavior (according to the C
standard) if NULL is returned by strcasestr()? If so, how comfortable
are we with this? Perhaps if you add an 'if' into the mix, you can
avoid it:

    if (found) {
        const char *next = found + strlen(enc_name);
        return ...long complicated expression...;
    }
    return false;

Although the 'found > check_roundtrip_encoding' expression is
effectively dead code in this case, it does document that the
programmer didn't just blindly use '*(found-1)' without taking
boundary conditions into consideration.

(It's dead code because, at this point, we know that strcasestr()
didn't return NULL and we know that 'found' doesn't equal
'check_roundtrip_encoding', therefore it _must_ be greater than
'check_roundtrip_encoding'.)

Just an observation; not a request to remove the dead code since it
has some documentation value.

Last two arguments need to be swapped.

Why redirect to /dev/null? If something does go wrong somewhere, the
more output available for debugging the problem, the better, so
throwing it away unnecessarily seems contraindicated.

The "unconfig" won't take place if the test fails. Instead of
test_config/test_unconfig, you could use '-c' to set the config
transiently for the git-add operation:

    ! GIT_TRACE=1 git -c core.checkRoundtripEncoding=garbage add ...

Same comment as for patch 5/7: This cleanup won't happen if the test
fails. Instead, use test_when_finished() earlier in the test:

    test_expect_success 'check roundtrip encoding' '
        test_when_finished "rm -f roundtrip.shift roundtrip.utf16; git
reset --hard HEAD" &&
        ...
