Ahh, after this I've found it documented in githooks(5):
Environment variables, such as GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE, etc., are
exported so that Git commands run by the hook can correctly
locate the repository. If your hook needs to invoke Git commands
in a foreign repository or in a different working tree of the
same repository, then it should clear these environment variables
so they do not interfere with Git operations at the foreign
location. For example:
local_desc=$(git describe)
foreign_desc=$(unset $(git rev-parse --local-env-vars); git -C ../foreign-repo describe)
Never mind.
