When there are test failures, leave the `.t` directory populated with
repositories that demonstate the failures, for later analysis.
* `--test-git-config name=value`
The test suite prevents git from reading any git configuration files.
Usually it is a good idea to run the test suite with a standard
git configuration. However, this option can be useful to see what
effect a git configuration setting has on the test suite.
Some configuration settings will break the test suite, in ways that are
due to a bug in git-annex. But it is possible that changing a
configuration can find a legitimate bug in git-annex.
One valid use of this is to change a git configuration to a value that
is planned to be the new default in a future version of git.

`git-annex test` prevents ~/.gitconfig or /etc/gitconfig from being read.
The `-c` option also doesn't propagate into the test suite.
It would sometimes be useful to test git-annex with a given git config set.
Although some might break the test suite, others might expose actual bugs
in git-annex. --[[Joey]]
