pwd doesn't look like a git repository ..

Hi,

at first thanks for you work on this nice piece of software.

I discovered that git-deborig HEAD is failing for some repositories. It is also reproducible in you CI pipeline.

Thanks, Jan

Yes, I saw it, but I don't know how to fix it yet. It worked before 😕

He ... guess what ... I don't get what the heck is going on ...

The source code of the relevant part of git-deborig is in https://github.com/Debian/devscripts/blob/master/scripts/git-deborig.pl#L103-L108:

# Sanity check #1
try {
    $git->rev_parse({ git_dir => 1 });
} catch {
    die "pwd doesn't look like a git repository ..\n";
};
