Subject: [PATCH 7/8] status tests: filter `.gitconfig` from status output

From: "Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 15:01:16 +0000

From: Johannes Schindelin <[email-masked]>

Since test-lib.sh creates `$HOME/.gitconfig` when
`WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES` is in effect, the file appears in `git
status` output as either untracked (`?? .gitconfig`) or ignored
(`!! .gitconfig` / `! .gitconfig`, depending on porcelain version),
because the `.git/info/exclude` entry causes git to treat it as an
ignored file rather than hiding it entirely.

In t7061 and t7521, which are pervasively affected, introduce a
`filter_gitconfig` helper that strips all status-prefix variants of
`.gitconfig` from the output before comparison. In the remaining
scripts (t7060, t7064, t7508), apply targeted adjustments.
