The amount of code common between the two tests is significant. In 
simple cases, such duplication may not be worth worrying about, but it 
feels like we can do better here. There are a number of ways to re-use 
the code between tests. One such way would be to do something like this:

     run_incremental_repack () {
         test_commit A &&
         ...
         test_subcommand ...
     }

     test_expect_success 'maintenance.incremental-repack.auto' '
         rm -rf incremental-repack &&
         git init incremental-repack &&
         (
             cd incremental-repack &&
             git config core.multiPackIndex true &&
             run_incremental_repack
         )
     '

     test_expect_success 'maintenance.incremental-repack.auto (config 
unset)' '
         rm -rf incremental-repack &&
         git init incremental-repack &&
         (
             cd incremental-repack &&
             test_unconfig core.multiPackIndex &&
             run_incremental_repack
         )
     '
