Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?=F0=9F=A4=96=20fix:=20initialize=20git=20repos?=

The e2e test fixtures created directories but didn't run git init,
causing listBranches() to fail with 'Not a git repository' errors.
These errors were logged but didn't fail tests since the tests don't
rely on branch-loading functionality.

Fix: run 'git init -q' for both projectPath and workspacePath so
the fixtures behave like real projects.
