Totally sympathize with wanting to reduce the cognitive load of
reading the test suite.
As a reader of the test, I found both implementation choices
nonobvious - and requiring
some diving into test_config and test_unconfig (namely the --unset-all
behavior).
A comment on the `git config` stating that it's there because
`test_config` doesn't yet support
`--add` seems equally clarifying as inserting a comment next to the
test_unconfig usage.
That being said, I suspect anyone in the future poking around with
this will have to sourcedive
through test_config and test_unconfig to make sense of it.

I'll switch it over to the test_unconfig option on the next reroll if requested.
