In short, git is trying to access a repo it considers on another filesystem and to tell it explicitly that you're okay with this, you must set the environment variable GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM=1

If you're curious: Above mounts $(pwd) into the git docker container and passes "rev-parse --short HEAD" to the git command in the container, which it then runs against that mounted volums.
