Maybe you could have used the following to temporarily override the config: git -c trailer.signed-off-by.where=before interpret-trailers ... But it could be helpful and more straightforward to provide the options you implemented. I am not sure also if --where should override both "trailer.where" and "trailer.<token>.where", or if should just override the former.
