Cannot pass args through install_git

[StevenMMortimer]

The install_git function has an argument that is called args and is deprecated. The problem is that install_git passes arguments through to install via ... and args is a valid argument I want to pass to install.

I tried using INSTALL_opts which should work it's way down to install.packages, but that doesn't seem to work. I believe a solution could remove the current deprecated args argument from install_git. Here is an example of some code that I'm having trouble with:

devtools::install_git("a.repo.url.here", 
                      branch="master", 
                      dependencies=FALSE,
                      args=c("--no-multiarch"))
Error: Command failed (1)
In addition: Warning message:
`args` is deprecated 

Trying INSTALL_opts

devtools::install_git("a.repo.url.here", 
                      branch="master", 
                      dependencies=FALSE,
                      INSTALL_opts=c("--no-multiarch"))

--no-multiarch is ignored completely
