Bug: Git invokes hooks from wrong directory.

From: Gabriel Nützi <hidden>

Dear Community

The following MWE in
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67273420/why-does-git-execute-hooks-from-an-other-repository/67276138#67276138

shows a bug that Git executes the hooks in `/tmp/A` instead of 
`/tmp/Githooks`.

# ----------
|# Make simple repo git init "/tmp/A" && cd "/tmp/A" || exit 1
|
|
|
|# Make hook to demonstrate the problem
   mkdir -p ".git/hooks" &&
|
|echo "echo 'EXECUTED!!!'" >.git/hooks/reference-transaction &&
|
|  chmod +x ".git/hooks/reference-transaction" &&
|
|  git clone -c core.hooksPath=".git/hooks" --template= 
"https://github.com/gabyx/Githooks.git" /tmp/Githooks|
# ----------

Would be nice to know, if this is indeed a bug and should be fixed?

If somebody points me to the corresponding source code, I could dive in.
Thanks a lot.
