This does not explain, except for the fuzzy "in this case", why we
want to lose trailing slash at all. If what you wanted to say was
On NetBSD, "mkdir -p -m $bits path/to/dir/" ignores the
permission bits when creating the directory component 'dir', but
without the trailing slash at the end of "dir/", it works as
expected.
then that would be an understandable justification for the patch.
If you meant to say something else, then I couldn't read it from
what you wrote, so the log message needs updating to help future
readers.

I haven't seen the steps 3-7/7 yet, but if they remove "-p", then
"but" would be a strange thing to say here. If they indeed do, then
perhaps:
The '-p' option is not needed in thse cases, as we know $HOME/
exists in the test environment and we are creating a new
directory directly under it. It will be removed in a future
patch in the series. Removing '-p' could be an alternative fix,
as the command then works as expected even on NetBSD with the
trailing slash after directory name.
On the other hand, if future changes make it necessary to create two
or more levels here, then
At this point in the series, '-p' is not needed in thse cases,
as we know $HOME/ exists in the test environment and we are
creating .git-credential-cache directory directly under it.
However, in later patches, we'll make it necessary for these
'mkdir -p' to create two or more levels, so removing '-p' would
be an alternative fix for this step, but would not work for the
series as a whole.
would also make sense. I simply do not have enough information yet
to tell which at this point in the series.
