error on commit, if package.json in subdirectory

[imrekq]

In root directory(has .git) make subdirectory and in her package.json with "commitmsg": "conventional-changelog-lint -e". After trying commit I have:
Error: Command failed: git rev-parse --show-toplevel
fatal: Not a git repository: '.git'

Can not reproduce with the following sequence. Are you using the latest version of commitlint?

npm install -g npx
mkdir -p test/packages/test
git init
cd packages/test
npm init -y
npm install --save-dev @commitlint/config-angular
git add . 
git commit -m "chore: initial commit"
npx commitlint -x @commitlint/config-angular -e

⧗   input: chore: initial commit
✔   found 0 problems, 0 warnings

I reproduced as follows:

mkdir -p test/subdir
cd test
git init
cd subdir
npm init -y
npm install --save-dev @commitlint/cli husky

added "scripts": {
"commitmsg": "commitlint -e"
}

git commit -m "chore: initial commit"

Result:

Error: Command failed: git rev-parse --show-toplevel
fatal: Not a git repository: '.git'

Thanks for the refined use case! Will have a look at this over the weekend.
