It doesn't work for me either, but it does work for 'archive'. Which
is a bit odd, maybe 'clone' uses the setting from the config file so
that future commands in that repo will work consistently. We could set
HOME to another directory which contains a config file with the
settings we need. Or we could something similar to my script for the
documentation. Are you using python? I use a shell script for the
documentation build, but I should be able to convert it to python.
