Not having looked into it much at all: Doesn't this then introduce
another logic error where git_protected_config() is now buggy, i.e. it's
a "lazy load" method where we'll expect to read_protected_config()
first.
The assumption with that seems to have been that it's invariant within a
single process, is that still the case, or can e.g. HOME be set during
our runtime when we rely on these functions?
(I don't know)
