Recently upgraded Jgit to 5.10.0.202012080955-r. After this, we are getting IOException after clone of a bare git repository. It doesn't seem to cause any visible functional impact so far, but its a cause of concern.
This issue is seen only in Kubernetes deployment not with Junit tests.
Is it a known issue ? If yes, any workarounds or anything missing here ?
Thanks.

In this particular case Jgit is trying to create a configuration file at a path based on XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
If XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set, it will be having default value $HOME/.config. This particular path is not accessible in my Kubernetes environment.
Changed XDG_CONFIG_HOME to point to appropriate path. Thus Jgit will be able to create configuration file.
