I changed that while I was at it to make it easier to read, it's not an
optimization. I.e. one wonders what the side-effect is of calling
prepare_repo_settings() twice, discovers there isn't one...

It seems reasonable to assume that a function to set config has
initialized (or died, if it couldn't) enough of our config state to do
its job.

Besides, it's a few lines above the changed code in the same file. 

But looking at this again 2/3 callers of set_sparse_index_config()
aren't checking the return value. Wouldn't something like [1] on top be
a good idea here?

Also, is GIT_TEST_SPARSE_INDEX=true itself supposed to work? Running the
test suite with it fails 3 test files for me, all /sparse/, i.e. tests
that (presumably) assume it's not already turned on by this code.
