The most common issue I have seen in cases like this is that you need
to 'unset GIT_DIR'.  In fact, anytime you play around with running
stuff from *inside* a hook that works fine when you run it from
outside, you need to check what GIT_ variables are present.

I believe 'unset `git rev-parse --local-env-vars`' is a good idea too;
probably much simpler.
