Revert "git: Restrict spawned commands to a specific dir"
In bd50ad9e (git: Restrict spawned commands to a specific dir,
2024-05-14), we have started to set GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES
such that
spawned Git commands will not escape their repository. In the context of
commands with a repository we set the variable to the repository's path.
And when we have a command without a repository, we create a temporary
directory, chdir the command into it and then set up the environment
variable to point to that directory.
The latter case has an unintended side effect: when socket paths have
been specified with a relative path, then this relative path now cannot
be resolved anymore due to our use of chdir. This wasn't ever a problem
with any of the other Git commands that use a repository because we use
git -C
there, which does not cause us to chdir.
We could likely fix this by using git -C
here, as well, instead of
setting the working directory of the new process. But for now, let's
rather revert this whole change and reintroduce it in a later step.
