Using test_config instead of "git config" would help.

The above is meant to see explicit "--detach" gives the same message
whether advice.detachedHead is set to true or false, which is good.
It however does not make sure these messages do not caution about
detaching.

This goes to "child" branch and then does a no-op "checkout HEAD"
that does not even detach.

And then it compares the message from a no-op "checkout" and
the previously obtained message from a detaching "checkout".
Another thing that this is not checking is that a detaching
"checkout" without an explicit "--detach" still gives the advice
when advice.detachedHead is set to true (or left to default, for
that matter).
Perhaps you would want to do it a bit differently. How does this
look?
# baseline
test_config advice.detachedHead true &&
git checkout child && git checkout HEAD^0 >expect.advice &&
test_config advice.detachedHead false &&
git checkout child && git checkout HEAD^0 >expect.no-advice &&
test_unconfig advice.detachedHead &&
# without configuration, the advice.* variables default to true
git checkout child && git checkout HEAD^0 >actual &&
test_cmp expect.advice actual &&
# with explicit --detach
# no configuration
test_unconfig advice.detachedHead &&
git checkout child && git checkout --detach HEAD >actual &&
test_cmp expect.no-advice actual &&
# explicitly ask advice
test_config advice.detachedHead true &&
git checkout child && git checkout --detach HEAD >actual &&
test_cmp expect.no-advice actual &&
# explicitly decline advice
test_config advice.detachedHead false &&
git checkout child && git checkout --detach HEAD >actual &&
test_cmp expect.no-advice actual
It might be controversial how the second from the last case should
behave, though.
