When Magit calls git
it adds a few global arguments including
--literal-pathspecs
and the git
process started by Magit then passes
that setting on to other git
process it starts itself. It does so by
setting the environment variable GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS
, not by calling
subprocesses with the --literal-pathspecs
. You can therefore override
this setting in hook scripts using unset GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS
.
