Good catch.

I don't mind removing this if nobody is using it, but doesn't your first
paragraph argue that our definition of gitunsetenv() is just wrong?
I.e., it should return an int, even if it is always "0"?

Or is it a portability question? I.e., are there platforms where
unsetenv() also returns void, in which case we must make sure nobody
ever looks at its return value (and xunsetenv() is therefore a wrong
direction)?
