Yep, sounds good.

Rather than the above, I think a more satisfactory and meaningful test would be:
test_expect_success 'values returned in order requested' '
cat >expect <<-\EOF &&
layout.bare=false
references.format=files
layout.bare=false
EOF
git init --ref-format=files ordered &&
git -C ordered repo info layout.bare references.format
layout.bare >actual &&
test_cmp expect actual
'
