Unable to update - Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

Hi,
I’m trying to update my erpnext installation but it fails on bench update --reset step.

bench version

erpnext 12.x.x-develop
frappe 12.x.x-develop
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

The error I’m facing is

Any ideas?

Never mind. I figured it out.

If you install a custom app but not via a git repository the above error appears. When you create a git repo for the custom app, it adds the app to excluded apps because it doesn’t have a remote and everything works.
