Unable to update git submodules in a 4.8-windowsservercore-ltsc2019 image

Docker Desktop for Windows
1

Hi,

My host system: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and Windows Server 2016 64-bit
Docker Image: 4.8-windowsservercore-ltsc2019
Docker Version: 4.4.4
Dockerfile: I’ve opened an issue on Git-for-Windows repository. Dockerfile and a lot of other details can be found there.

How to reproduce the issue:

  1. Create a Windows image using the above mentioned Dockerfile: docker build -t buildtools2022:latest -m 2GB .
  2. Clone the OpenOCD repository locally: git clone https://github.com/openocd-org/openocd.git
  3. Run the image: docker run --rm -it -v %cd%:C:\Temp -w C:\Temp buildtools2022
  4. Perform: git submodule update --init

Somehow git cannot change into directories of the mapped volume. Any idea, what could be wrong? Such setup was already working a year or so ago but it is not available and I don’t know what software versions I had then.

I would also help if someone could at least reproduce this behaviour.
