init: reset cached config when entering new repo
After we copy the templates into place, we re-read the
config in case we copied in a default config file. But since
git_config() is backed by a cache these days, it's possible
that the call will not actually touch the filesystem at all;
we need to tell it that something has changed behind the
scenes.
Note that we also need to reset the shared_repository
config. At first glance, it seems like this should probably
just be folded into git_config_clear(). But unfortunately
that is not quite right. The shared repository value may
come from config, _or_ it may have been set manually. So
only the caller who knows whether or not they set it is the
one who can clear it (and indeed, if you _do_ put it into
git_config_clear(), then many tests fail, as we have to
clear the config cache any time we set a new config
variable).
There are three tests here. The first two actually pass
already, though it's largely luck: they just don't happen to
actually read any config before we enter the new repo.
But the third one does fail without this patch; we look at
core.sharedrepository while creating the directory, but need
to make sure the value from the template config overrides
it.
