Fwd: git clone does not respect command line options

Hi!

I'm trying to use git in an integration test and i'm having trouble
with configuration options.

On windows developer machines we use wincred as our credenital helper
and thus have it set in ~/.gitconfig

For the integration test that is no use as it will make testing
unauthorized logging in impossible.

Since there is no way of disabling configuration options on the
command line i tried setting it to store with a file I could delete.
So in front of every command we insert `-c credential.helper="store
--file=creds.txt"`. In the end the command line looks like:

git -c credential.helper="store --file=creds.txt" clone
http://admin:admin@oururl@20000/TestRepo.git

I see the file creds.txt being created containing only
http://admin:admin@oururl@20000/TestRepo.git but the credenital at the
same time appears in the windows credential store.

Can anybody else confirm this?

Thank you.
