Incorrect GIT_WORK_DIR with fish

[jonathf]

Describe the bug

yadm lists all my tracked files as deleted when running yadm status in any folder except $HOME.

To reproduce

Can this be reproduced with the yadm/testbed docker image: No

testbed doesn't allow easy install of fish.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install fish and yadm
2. yadm clone any/repo
3. fish
4. cd ~/.config
5. yadm status

Expected behavior

yadm status should list current status of your dotfiles.
Instead it lists all dotfiles as deleted, as if the GIT_WORK_TREE=. is current directory instead of $HOME.
In other words, if you are in your $HOME folder, things works as expected.

Environment

• Operating system: Arch Linux
• Version yadm: 3.1.0
• Version Git: 2.31.1
• Fish version: 3.2.2

To help bug-hunting: I cannot reproduce this with

• OS: Debian 10
• yadm 3.1.0
• git 2.20.1
• fish 3.0.2

I have a laptop with similar specs with Ubuntu. Also no issue.

Note that expliclitly setting $GIT_WORK_TREE also works. So for the time being, as a workaround, I have the following alias in my config.fish:

alias yadm="env GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME yadm"
