No, the intention is to find the "real" .git/ directory, in case of
building in a separate git worktree. It looks like --git-common-dir
was added only in git 2.5.0 and rev-parse just passes unrecognized
options through.

~/src/git$ git rev-parse --foo ; echo $?
--foo
0

Putting --no-flags will drop them instead, perhaps we can use that?

~/src/git$ git rev-parse --no-flags --foo --git-common-dir ; echo $?
.git
0
