apparently we run git -C sometimes

       -C <path>
           Run as if git was started in <path> instead of the current working directory. When multiple -C options are given, each subsequent non-absolute -C <path> is interpreted relative to the preceding -C <path>. If <path> is present but empty, e.g.  -C "", then the current working directory is left unchanged.

maybe the git version on ci is not new enough?
