Yup, that matched my aesthetics better ;-)

Perhaps.  I am not sure if we deeply care about "git -c var=val" in
this case, especially since this is part of includeif, though.  It
may be more important to keep the syntax useful and extensible for
everyday use than for one-off "git -c" testing.

Case insensitive environment variable names, no, but case
insensitive matching of values, maybe?  But I'd be happy to see us
start very minimally (even just envEQ alone without any other
frills, or optionally envNE to negate it, would be fine by me).

This asserts what? FOO=" bar"?
