git(1)
-c <name>=<value>
Pass a configuration parameter to the command. The value given will
override values from configuration files. The <name> is expected in
the same format as listed by git config (subkeys separated by
dots).
Note that omitting the = in git -c foo.bar ... is allowed and sets
foo.bar to the boolean true value (just like [foo]bar would in a
config file). Including the equals but with an empty value (like
git -c foo.bar= ...) sets foo.bar to the empty string which git
config --bool will convert to false.
Andreas.
