I've been playing with this locally, but cannot shake the nagging
feeling that GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK must default to true.
Otherwise, it is one more thing they need to find out and set when
they do
make SANITYZE=leak test
because they want to be a good developer and to ensure that they did
not introduce new leaks.
If we want to encourage folks to locally run the leak checks before
declaring their own work "done", that is.
Those who are hunting for and cleaning up existing leaks can and
should set it to false, no?
In any case, here is a small fallout out of my adventure into this
corner.

Subject: t0006: date_mode can leak .strftime_fmt member
As there is no date_mode_release() API function, and given the
set of current callers it probably is not worth adding one, let's
release the .strftime_fmt member that is obtained from strdup()
before the caller of show_date() is done with it.
This allows us to mark t0006 as passing under the leak sanitizer.
