Here's a way to reproduce the problem: ``` $ cat > git-remote-foo <<EOF #!/bin/sh git config --local -l >&2 exit 1 EOF $ chmod +x git-remote-foo $ PATH=$PWD:$PATH git clone foo::bar ``` With versions < 2.44.0, it displays the local configuration, e.g.: ``` core.repositoryformatversion=0 core.filemode=true core.bare=false core.logallrefupdates=true remote.origin.url=foo::bar ``` but with 2.44.0, it fails with: ``` fatal: --local can only be used inside a git repository ``` Mike
