There's a (minor) regression here in v2.35.0 on AIX (as of 8a0d52dfd87
(t2501: add various tests for removing the current working directory,
2021-12-09)). The tooling on that OS will also refuse to remove the cwd:
    
    + mkdir tmp
    + cd tmp
    + rm -rf ../tmp
    rm: Cannot remove the current directory ../tmp.
    error: last command exited with $?=2
    not ok 21 - git version continues working from a deleted dir
    #

Just splitting that into a prereq that checks if the first two lines of the sub-shell works should be a solution in this case, but I only had time for this quick bug report :)
