Research direction

Start by running test_pullWithUnnormalizedPath under Python 2 and Python 3, then inspect the traceback in git/config.py, especially release() and write(). Compare the test runner's handling of the logged exception with the final unittest result; done means the Python 3 behavior is explained and the test reports the correct outcome.

The test_pullWithUnnormalizedPath test actually failed. Gave this output:

  [test_pullWithUnnormalizedPath.py] ERROR:git.config:Exception during destruction of GitConfigParser
  [test_pullWithUnnormalizedPath.py] Traceback (most recent call last):

  [test_pullWithUnnormalizedPath.py] OK
  1. Why is this test failing in python3 only. It passes in python2
  2. Even though there was an exeption, why did the python unittest pass and print this :[test_pullWithUnnormalizedPath.py] OK ?
