Tests 5 and 8 in t/t7411-submodule-config.sh add two commits with invalid lines in .gitmodules but then only the second commit is removed. This may affect future subsequent tests if they assume that the .gitmodules file has no errors. Since those commits are not needed anymore remove both of them. The modified line is in the last test of the file, so this does not change the current behavior, it only affects future tests.
