We use golangci-lint to build the Kubernetes API Linter (KAL), and golangci-lint calls git clone with some flags. But git v2.52.0 breaks flag parsing. What worked previously no longer works. Unfortunately, we have no control over the way golangci-lint calls git.

Here are some issues reported for other projects that call git with flags:

• [Bug?]: Git 2.52.0 breaks git protocol yarnpkg/berry#6982
• Permissions issue on runners v2.330.0 actions/runner#4131 (comment)

Looks like golangci-lint fixed this in golangci/golangci-lint#6205, and released the fix in https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/releases/tag/v2.7.0

@faiq Please try the v2.7.0 release in this PR 🙏

Ack, golangci-lint v2.7.0 solves this issue.

We also tackled it in CAPI:

• Bumped main to CAPI v2.7.0: 🌱 Bump golangci-lint v2.7.0 cluster-api#13108
• Started using golangci-lint v2.7.0 to build KAL for older release branches: [release-1.11] 🌱 Makefile: ensure KAL is compiled using golangci-lint v2.7.0 cluster-api#13107

I'd say let's go with the same approach that core CAPI went with :)
