In git 2.1.4, I can run: git pull --upload-pack 'echo --foo'

This also seems to work in 2.4.6, but in 2.5.0, the option parser does something weird, apparently looking inside the quoted parameter and parsing parameters in there:

error: unknown option `foo' usage: git fetch [<options>] [<repository> [<refspec>...]]

Needless to say, this broke my use of --upload-pack.
