`vue create <project>` is unable to detect and install git hooks in parent .git dir

[pravinpr]

Version

3.0.1

Reproduction link

https://github.com/pravinpr/vue-create-git-hook-issue

Node and OS info

node 8.11.4 / npm 5.6.0 / MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6

Steps to reproduce

mkdir vue-create-git-hook-issue
cd vue-create-git-hook-issue
git init
mkdir java
echo "some other project" > java/README.md
vue create app

What is expected?

git hooks should have been installed in vue-create-git-hook-issue/.git/hooks/
or vue create should give option to specify where to install the git hooks

What is actually happening?

vue create app output contains below message

setting up Git hooks
can't find .git directory, skipping Git hooks installation

That was removed on purpose, see #2131

We would be open for ideas how to provide a solution that can work for both needs, though.

Can we not provide an option to take the location of git dir in vue create if we want vue create to setup the git hooks?

And probably we can enforce that this option would work only when vue create is running in a subdirectory of git repo.

any update on this?
