Hi,
I stumbled across the following today:
(1) git -c foo.bar="foobar" clone <URL>
--> uses the config temporarily
(2) git clone -c foo.bar="foobar" <URL>
--> uses the config and writes it to .git/config
This was introduced in 84054f7 ("clone: accept config options on the
command line") and it makes total sense. However, I think this subtitle
difference can easily confuse users.
I think we should tell the users that we've written to .git/config.
Maybe something like this:
git clone -c foo.bar="foobar" <URL>
Cloning into 'test'...
Writing foo.bar="foobar" to local config...
