# test: hoist -c config before the clone subcommand (Copilot review)

`2182fe0`·

Soph·1w ago·1 file·+16 added/-2 removed

Global -c applies to the transport for the invocation only; `git clone -c` would also persist the setting into the clone's .git/config. Matches the `git -c protocol.file.allow=always fetch` pattern used elsewhere.
