Looks like the --server updates the default (/etc/pulp/client.conf).  Since the alt config 
is merged into the config object in memory, the merged (def + alt overrides) will be 
written to the default.

The override is really designed for developers so not sure why you'd use --server and 
specify and alt config.  Seems like the --server is mainly intended for end users.  That 
said, I guess it would make sense to write to the alt config instead when one is 
specified.  That would continue to preserve the default config in you git checkout.

This variable (when specified) contains the fully qualified path to a complete or partial client configuration file. Properties from the alternate configuration are merged into the standard configuration (/etc/pulp/client.conf) at runtime.
