The easiest way to reproduce it is this: $ mkdir test $ cd test $ echo "gitdir: /foo/bar" > .git $ git ls-remote https://github.com/torvalds/linux We happen to use overlay mounts in our build system in a way that maps a git submodule from one place to another so that its "gitdir" is invalid and then attempt a `git ls-remote` from that location which unexpectedly fails. But the above reproduces the problem well enough.
