Prevent tests from using the user and system git config

This prevents tests from asking to sign dummy commits on that repo if
there's a global gpgsign config set. This also has the nice side effect
of having the same tests not pollute the user git config with random
safe directories (since run_task calls `git config --global` which tests
exercise).

We cannot use a `NamedTemporaryFile` here because windows doesn't like
it when 2 processes have the same file open, and because delete_on_close
is python3.12+
