Yes, we explicitly clear "-c" variables when we cross repo boundaries. You can do it like: git push --receive-pack='git -c transfer.hideRefs=... receive-pack' but that is probably more obfuscated than using test_config. I was going to complain that "test_config -C" does not actually work, but somehow I missed 5fafc07 (test-lib-functions: support "test_config -C <dir> ...", 2015-09-05) going by.
