Command-line options do not take precedence over knife.rb configuration

[metafour]

I have knife[:identity_file] configured in my knife.rb but when I pass the --identity-file option to knife it still uses the knife.rb setting. I feel like this is standard operating procedure with other command-line utilities that have a configuration file. Is this by design with knife-ec2 or is it a bug?

@metafour
The actual bug was in chef. We fixed it and changes are merged into chef master. To try:

1. git clone https:/opscode/chef
2. cd to chef & gem build chef.gemspec
3. gem install chef-..*.gem

Thank You!
