Is it and should it? git-sh-setup was meant to be an implementation detail for our own scripts and we know don't use "-u -e". We never cared about backward compatibility for such use by end-users when we made any update to the git-sh-setup scriptlet. We freely changed existing features and squatted on good names for variables and functions we used in it, because it is designed as a private helper library. Having said that, we do protect from end-user misconfiguration like exporting CDPATH, and protecting ourselves from exporting SHELLOPTS is not something I would oppose. Thanks.
