I think that would make a good commit message itself.

Makes sense.

nit: Git's error messages tend to use lowercase (e.g., "fatal: cannot [etc]"
instead of "fatal: Unable [etc]").

not about this patch: By the way, the repository format version bump
is not sufficient to achieve its intended aim: we also need to set an
extensions.* setting to ensure Git is new enough to know about partial
clone.  More discussion about this is in [1] (apologies for not having
finished solving that).  This isn't a regression introduced in this
patch, and this patch does the right thing in the context of the
current code.

Probably also worth mentioning that this returns -1 on error.

nit: can leave out the '/' to avoid a double-/.

Same nit about capitalization.

whitespace nit: this would typically use a tab, to line up with the
paren on the previous line.

Ah, I think I misled you: the config_set API hasn't learned to take a
struct repository yet, so we should hardcode the_repository in this
function instead of taking a "struct repository" parameter.

nit: Missing blank line.

Is there a different check this test could perform to check the
user-facing behavior instead of how the configuration is encoded?

With whatever subset of the mentioned changes makes sense,
