Thanks, this looks good. Two minor points that may or may not be worth
addressing:

If you spell the EOF marker as:

    cat >expect <<-\EOF

then:

  1. The shell does not interpolate the contents (it does not matter
     here, but it is a good habit to be in, so we typically do it unless
     there is a need to interpolate).

  2. Using <<- will strip leading tabs, so the content can be indented
     properly along with the rest of the test.

I think we could tighten these to:

  test_expect_code 1 git config branch.my13.remote

to eliminate a false-positive success on other config errors. It's
highly improbable for it to ever matter, though (and it looks like we
are not so careful in most other places that call "git config" looking
for a missing entry, either).
