Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/git-ai-project/git-ai/issues/425

My Git version is 2.11.1. I've noticed an issue: when executing git-ai checkpoint, it attempts to locate the repository path by running the command "C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe" rev-parse --absolute-git-dir --show-toplevel. However, with version 2.11.1, the output is

absolute-git-dir
E:/test2

which causes a parsing error and results in the Git repository not being found.
