Not sure about that; didn't spot anything from a (very) quick glance at 
the code. However, what you can do is to set up your own defaults:

alias git-cl-nooa="/path/to/git-cl --no_oauth2_webbrowser"
alias git-cl="BROWSER=/usr/bin/echo /path/to/git-cl"

Specifying the BROWSER environment variable instructs git-cl to use this 
application as browser - which I guess is what you actually wanted in 
the first place?
