+-c <name>=<value>::
+ Pass a configuration parameter to the command. The value
+ given will override values from configuration files.
+ The <name> is expected in the same format as listed by
+ 'git config' (subkeys separated by dots).
+
--exec-path::
Path to wherever your core git programs are installed.
This can also be controlled by setting the GIT_EXEC_PATH
(i.e. the contents of `$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/<head>`).

-"SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in linkgit:git-rev-parse[1].

File/Directory Structure
a GIT_DIR set on the command line or in the environment.
(Useful for excluding slow-loading network directories.)
+'GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM'::
+ When run in a directory that does not have ".git" repository
+ directory, git tries to find such a directory in the parent
+ directories to find the top of the working tree, but by default it
+ does not cross filesystem boundaries. This environment variable
+ can be set to true to tell git not to stop at filesystem
+ boundaries. Like 'GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES', this will not affect
+ an explicit repository directory set via 'GIT_DIR' or on the
+ command line.
