"git clone --config" uses the following incantation to add an item to
a config file, instead of replacing an existing value:
git_config_set_multivar_gently(key, value, "^$", 0)
As long as no existing value matches the regex ^$, that works as
intended and adds to the config. When a value is empty, though, it
replaces the existing value.
Noticed while trying to set credential.helper during a clone to use a
specific helper without inheriting from ~/.gitconfig and
/etc/gitconfig. That is, I ran
git clone -c credential.helper= \
-c credential.helper=myhelper \
https://example.com/repo
intending to produce the configuration
[credential]
helper =
helper = myhelper
Without this patch, the 'helper =' line is not included and the
credential helper from /etc/gitconfig gets used.

On Windows, .git and optionally any files whose name starts with a
dot are now marked as hidden, with a core.hideDotFiles knob to
customize this behaviour.

mingw: remove unnecessary definition
mingw: introduce the 'core.hideDotFiles' setting
When trying to find a good spot for testing clone with submodules, I
got confused where to add a new test file. There are both tests in t560*
as well as t57* both testing the clone command. t/README claims the
second digit is to indicate the command, which is inconsistent to the
current naming structure.
Rename all t57* tests to be in t56* to follow the pattern of the digits
as laid out in t/README.
It would have been less work to rename t56* => t57* because there are less
files, but the tests in t56* look more basic and I assumed the higher the
last digits the more complicated niche details are tested, so with the patch
now it looks more in order to me.
