Commit d95138e [1] fixes a .git file problem by setting GIT_WORK_TREE
whenever GIT_DIR is set. It sounded harmless because we handle
GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE side by side for most commands, with two
exceptions: git-init and git-clone.
"git clone" is not happy with d95138e. This command ignores GIT_DIR
but respects GIT_WORK_TREE [2] [3] which means it used to run fine
from a hook, where GIT_DIR was set but GIT_WORK_TREE was not (*). With
d95138e, GIT_WORK_TREE is set all the time and git-clone interprets
that as "I give you order to put the worktree here", usually against
the user's intention.
The solution in d95138e is reverted in this commit. Instead we reuse the
solution from c056261 [4]. c056261 fixes another setup-messed-up-by-alias
by saving and restoring env for git-clone and git-init. Now I conclude
that setup-messed-by-alias is always evil. So the env restoration is
done for _all_ commands whenever aliases are involved. It fixes what
d95138e tries to fix. And it does not upset git-clone-inside-hooks.
The test from d95138e remains to verify it's not broken by this. A new
test is added to make sure git-clone-inside-hooks remains happy.
In future, perhaps we should look up aliases in a separate process
(provided that Windows folks are happy with one extra process). It'll be
cleanest.
(*) GIT_WORK_TREE was not set _most of the time_. In some cases
GIT_WORK_TREE is set and git-clone will behave differently. The
use of GIT_WORK_TREE to direct git-clone to put work tree
elsewhere looks like a mistake because it causes surprises this
way. But that's a separate story.

This may be a brilliant fix, or another invitation for regressions.
