Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!
Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your
issue)

I set `git config --global core.hooksPath ~/myhooks` and placed a
`reference-transaction` hook in `~/myhooks/reference-transaction`
with the content:

```shell
#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -e
echo "$GIT_DIR"
git rev-parse --absolute-git-dir
```

then I ran

```shell
mkdir ~/test && cd test
git init
```

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)

The Git repo `~/test` should have been initialized (and the hook
`reference-transaction` would have passed successfully.)


What happened instead? (Actual behavior)

The hook `reference-transaction` crashes since `git rev-parse --
absolute-git-dir` with
```
failed: not a git repository: ...
```

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?

The documentation says that `git rev-parse --absolute-git-dir` inside
the `reference-transaction` hooks read "$GIT_DIR" if defined (which is
defined!) so the `reference-transaction` should have passed. I assume
that hooks should be executed on properly initialized repositories,
right? Therefore I do not understand why `git rev-parse --absolute-git-
dir` fails -> Bug?

Anything else you want to add:

This came up with `Githooks` hooks manager
https://github.com/gabyx/Githooks where we use this command
to locate the current Git dir...
