Hello! I ran into a weird bug just now that is probably easier to show than explain: ❯ git init Initialized empty Git repository in /home/k900/test/.git/ ❯ echo '#!/usr/bin/oops' > .git/hooks/pre-commit ❯ chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit ❯ touch oops ❯ git add oops ❯ git commit -a fatal: cannot run .git/hooks/pre-commit: No such file or directory [1]    24580 segmentation fault (core dumped)  git commit -a This happens consistently with git 2.37.x, and I don't think it happened with git 2.36 or earlier.

I'm not sure if this has been reported already, but a quick search of the list archives didn't get me anywhere, so apologies if this is a duplicate. Thanks!
