Git 2.54.0-rc1, subtests of t5310, t5326, t5327

I can getting numerous issues in t5310, t5326, t2527 relating to the following use of --git-dir:

In t5310: fatal: not a git repository: 'clone.git' not ok 55 - fetch (full bitmap) # # git --git-dir=clone.git fetch origin second:second && # git rev-parse HEAD >expect && # git --git-dir=clone.git rev-parse HEAD >actual && # test_cmp expect actual #

In t5326 and t5327: fatal: writev error: Invalid function argument fetch-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet fatal: early EOF fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output not ok 24 - clone from bitmapped repository # # rm -fr clone.git && # git clone --no-local --bare . clone.git && # git rev-parse HEAD >expect && # git --git-dir=clone.git rev-parse HEAD >actual && # test_cmp expect actual #

It appears that the --git-dir argument is not working properly in this release. Any opinions?

I would have expected HOME or .gitconfig to have been set or redirected elsewhere in the test.
