Oh, wow. This is so obvious, no wonder it didn't occur to me :)
Don't we consider this one-shot environment variable to be sticky on
some shells (i.e., that it persists beyond just the "git config"
invocation here)?
Almost. Some old/buggy shells incorrectly allow the one-shot environment
variable assignment to bleed past command invocation when the "command"
is a shell function, like this:
SOME_ENV_VAR=somevalue shell_function_call
We do "lint"[*] for that sort of problem in t/check-non-portable-shell.pl.
Stolee's example, however, is invoking a normal program (`git`, in this
case), so isn't subject to that unwanted behavior from buggy shells.
