If a missing ONE_FILESYSTEM defaults to true, the only users who set this
variable set it to false to tell git not to limit the discovery to one
filesystem; there are too many negations in one sentence to make a simple
panda brain dizzy.
Use the variable GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM that changes the
behaviour from the default "limit to one filesystem" to "cross the
boundary as I ask you to"; makes the semantics much more straight
forward.

When run in a directory that does not have ".git" repository
directory, git tries to find such a directory in the parent
directories to find the top of the working tree, but by default it
does not cross filesystem boundaries. This environment variable
