Well, it passes.

test-lib.sh sets $HOME to "$TRASH_DIRECTORY", but this value of $HOME
is then later seen by "git config --path ..." run by Git::config_path
in t9700/test.pl

  char *expand_user_path(const char *path)
  [...]
                if (username_len == 0) {
                        const char *home = getenv("HOME");
                        if (!home)
                                goto return_null;
                        strbuf_add(&user_path, home, strlen(home));
                } else {
  [...]
