Makes sense. The "at least" part made me scratch my head at first, but
your explanation in response to Ævar made sense.

We've discussed recently how the return value from getenv() isn't
stable. It looks like we could assign it much closer to the point-of-use
here (which still isn't 100% foolproof, but I think is something we
could encourage as a general pattern, and mostly works due to our
ring-buffer technique).
I.e., right before this conditional:

It's more idiomatic in our code base to check for a non-empty string as:
if (git_test_v && *git_test_v)
though obviously that's pretty minor.
