You are changing the system configuration for the benefit of a local configuration. That would potentially break every other user outside of that repository that now works. My suggestion is to either go with my earlier recommendation and add an empty `credential.helper` in the repository's config before the actual one (and leave the system config alone), or alternatively change the system config instead of the repository config in the first place.
