Firstly, thank you for the addition of the environment variable. It is indeed much better than the --no-guess flag. However, I'm in a situation where I very much prefer the DWIM behavior for nearly all of my repos. However, a very few repos have LOTS of branches. And I only wish to disable DWIM in those few repos. I attempted to create an alias (`git config alias.co 'checkout --no-guess'`) in those specific repos. However, that turned out to be foolish since I believe the alias parsing doesn't occur until _after_ the shell completion script runs (thus the --no-guess is not actually present in the command parsed by the completion script). So I'm back to very much wanting the ability to disable DWIM repo-specific via git-config; and am willing to pay the git-config tax as necessary.
