Description
On clone/mount we add configuration entries to the --local Git configuration, things like core.gvfs=1 and credential.validate=false.
The problem is that in the past we've set entries like credential.usehttppath=true which we no-longer set on new clones. The means the behaviour of older clones is different from newer ones.
We should ensure entries that we have set in previous version of VFS for Git / GVFS are removed or unset on mount to ensure consistent behaviour.
Aside: we no longer set credential.usehttppath but credential.https://dev.azure.com.usehttppath instead.
