Subject: Git rebase --exec cannot run git commands affecting other repos

It is impossible to run git commands affecting a different repo from
within a `git rebase --exec` because in that environment the `GIT_DIR`
and `GIT_WORK_TREE` variables are set and inherited by any commands run
as part of `git rebase --exec`.
A minimal reproduction is shown below:
git init
touch file
git add file
git commit -m"Commit"
git rebase --root --exec="git clone . subrepo"
It is a bit convoluted for the sake of being self contained. But any git
command in `--exec` acting on a different repo than the one being
rebased will fail. See my ticket on CMake [0] for a more real usecase.
As mentioned in the other ticket, unsetting these variables will work
around the issue.
git rebase --root --exec="env -u GIT_DIR -u GIT_WORK_TREE git clone . subrepo"
