Custom hooks can no longer access other repo's

How to Use GitLab

Hi After our upgrade from 8.17.4 to 9.4.1 our custom hooks can no longer access other repos. We keep the actual hook code in another repo and run it from repo where the code change is being checked in.

Were there changes made to prevent this between these two versions?

Based on information in this link - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/32056, my colleague (Thanks Adam) wrote this short working test

#!/bin/bash
#
GIT=/opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/git

echo "Working Directory: $(pwd)"
echo "Starting GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY: ${GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY}"

GOD=$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY
unset GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY

echo "Unset GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY: ${GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY}"

$GIT -C ../someother.git log -1
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY=$GOD

echo "Reset GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY: ${GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY}"
