Seems that the v2 of "maintenance: improve error reporting for
unregister" [*1*] was _partially_ folded into v3 of "maintenance: add
option to register in a specific config": At least the config change that
talks about `--config-file` inste of `--config` _is_ part of v3, and one
reason that the former patch does not apply cleanly on top of the latter
patch. Which is a bit funny because the former patch was sent out two days
_after_ the latter patch.

And it looks as if there is one more thing that needs to be forward-ported
from that no-longer-applying patch: the initialization of the configset,
otherwise we're potentially trying to clear an uninitialized data
structure.

This is the patch I am currently testing (on top of Git for Windows'
`shears/seen` branch:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/commit/cd7b86d19f):

Ævar, can you please have a thorough look and see whether there is
anything else we were missing before advancing this to `next`?

Thanks,
