Description
There should be a way to specify values for variables on the commandline such that existing values will be overwritten.
Common examples would be:- overwriting the installation prefix of a distribution
- specifying a SCM URL for one project to analyze a local working copy instead of the upstream repository
As a possible extension, some variables could be marked as needing to be specified in this way. This would be particularly useful for variables for which no good default value exists, e.g. installation prefix when installing locally.
