This happens despite being in a git repo.

Can you give more details about what you are doing? For example, exact commands and a reproduceable environment? The following works just fine for instance:

> mkdir /tmp/smithy-init-test
> cd /tmp/smithy-init-test
> git init .
> smithy init .

Just running the first command in the public tutorial guide -
https://smithy.io/2.0/tutorials/full-stack-tutorial.html

smithy init -t full-stack-application

was giving -

"Unable to run git fetch --depth 1: fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

I just ran that command without any issues, can you please let us know which version of the Smithy CLI are you using? (output of smithy --version)
