Vulcan doesn't work with heroku accounts plugin

[goodwill]

Seems there is problem with vulcan + heroku accounts plugin, when I try to do a vulcan create, it just failed as follows:

$ vulcan create vulcan-p7zip
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
Creating vulcan-p7zip... done, stack is cedar

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I tried removing my accounts plugin and it's still giving me the same error as above. My default account was "personal". Even after rm -rf ~/.heroku I still get:

$ vulcan create vulcan2-dougalcorn

If you need to get things going, I just went through the same thing, and work with a more knowledgeable friend revealed a solution. You have to not only remove the heroku-accounts plugin, but also unset the heroku.accounts variable from your global git config with something like
git config --unset --global heroku.accounts
The plugin leaves that variable in global config even after you remove it, and vulcan picks up on that. Best of luck!

+1 to @bwarren2's solution, except for me it was git config --unset --global heroku.account (Note: singular).

Hope that helps someone else as it was really driving me nuts too! Thanks, @bwarren2.
