Remove repository-location variables from the scenario's Git environment.

The scenario git helper inherits the parent environment. run passes no env here, and nothing in scripts/ removes GIT_DIR or GIT_WORK_TREE before spawning Git. If these variables are set, for example by a Git hook that exports GIT_DIR, cwd: project does not limit the commands. The checkout, commit, and merge steps can then change another repository.

Strip these variables from the environment passed to the helper, and keep the rest of process.env:

Suggested fix 

 const utf16 = (text: string) => Buffer.from(`\ufeff${text}`, "utf16le");
+const REPOSITORY_ENV = new Set(["GIT_DIR", "GIT_WORK_TREE", "GIT_INDEX_FILE", "GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY", "GIT_COMMON_DIR"]);
     const git = (args: ReadonlyArray<string>, allowExit: ReadonlyArray<number> = [0]) =>
       runPromise(
         run(
           "git",
           ["-c", "user.name=Scenario", "-c", "user.email=scenario@example.invalid", ...args],
-          { cwd: project, allowExit },
+          {
+            cwd: project,
+            allowExit,
+            env: Object.fromEntries(
+              Object.entries(process.env).filter(([key]) => !REPOSITORY_ENV.has(key)),
+            ),
+          },
         ),
       );

Review comment at @scripts/scenarios/utf16-merge-conflict-blocks-commit.e2e.ts at line 23:
Update the scenario’s git helper to pass an environment to run that removes Git repository-location overrides, including GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE, GIT_INDEX_FILE, GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY, and GIT_COMMON_DIR, while preserving the other entries from process.env.
