If you read C, the effective value of VAR1 is ON. Now you change T VAR1 to OFF and call ast_config_text_file_save. The current behavior is that the file gets re-written with T/VAR1=OFF but C/VAR1=ON is added. Personally, I think this is a bug. It's preserving the effective state of C even though I didn't specify C/VAR1 in th first place. I believe the behavior should be that if I didn't specify C/VAR1 originally, then the effective value of C/VAR1 should continue to follow the inherited state. Now, if I DID explicitly specify C/VAR1, the it should be preserved even if the template changes.
Even though I think the existing behavior is a bug, it's been that way forever so I'm not changing it. Instead, I've created ast_config_text_file_save2() that takes a bitmask of quirks, one of which is to preserve the effective context (the current behavior). The original ast_config_text_file_save calls *2 with the preserve quirk. If you want the new behavior, call *2 directly without a quirk.
I've also updated Manager UpdateConfig with a new parameter 'PreserveEffectiveContext' whose default is 'yes'. If you want the new behavior with UpdateConfig, set 'PreserveEffectiveContext: no'.

I've also added a new no_preserve_effective_context test to manager/config that tests the new behavior.
