git filter troubleshooting

I'm troubleshooting a new setup that my code contributors can benefit from. I'm using a .gitconfig file inside of the repository's root, not the .git/config file, and then I've used the command to make it part of the local git config. I don't know whether the relative path to my smudge and clean scripts begins with "../scripts/" or "./scripts/"

I'll show you the files in my setup .git/config

unrelated config

[include]
    path = ../.gitconfig

...
...
unrelated config
...
...
[include]
    path = ../.gitconfig

/.gitattributes

system.json filter=mungePackageID

system.json filter=mungePackageID

/.gitconfig

[filter "mungePackageID"]
    required = true
    smudge = 'sh "./scripts/smudgePackageID.sh"'
    clean = 'sh "./scripts/cleanPackageID.sh"'

[filter "mungePackageID"]
    required = true
    smudge = 'sh "./scripts/smudgePackageID.sh"'
    clean = 'sh "./scripts/cleanPackageID.sh"'

I tested my scripts manually, they seem to work. git config --list shows the filter rules as expected. This setup worked while everything was hiding in the .git directory finally got it to tell me it can't find the script file by trying git add . --renormalize
