It's not _wrong_, we're just suggesting ways that the same thing might be accomplished more easily.

Yes, I think your patch is running into a long-standing problem in the git initialization code. There are problems if you need to look into the repo dir to find out which command to execute, because finding the repo dir changes the environment. There is a similar problem with aliases.

So I think getting your patch to run correctly may be hard. But I admit I didn't look at it that closely.
