When I read the above, I imagined that you are reducing noise from
the output by showing only modified or new variables, but it appears
that the implementation of concatenate_env() just blindly copies the
variables without checking if they are setting the same value.

I wonder how common it would be to attempt exporting a variable with
the same value, and to attempt unsetting a variable that is not
exported, which might help you reduce the clutter by hiding stuff
that truly do not matter, while keeping what matters (possibly
including the "unset" part).

I'll do s/interesting/& part/ while queuing.

I think you'd tweak the quoting around here in a later iteration,
based on the distinction between the two:

	$ 'GIT_DIR=.git' git foo
	$ GIT_DIR='.git' git foo

that was pointed out in a near-by message.

Thanks.
