They all look good. A bare "unset" in the shell also can fail, and
that is where our sane_unset comes from. It is where the "it is an
error to try unsetting a config" comes from, but given that only
small number of places we need these changes to, it wouldn't not be
worth adding "git config --sane-unset" that does not fail ;-)
Looking good.
