🐞 Describe the bug

Whenever a checkpoint is saved, I get additional git messages:

09/16 14:47:35 - mmengine - INFO - Saving checkpoint at 9 epochs
fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /opt/ml)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

I'm not sure why these messages appear or how to remove them.

Environment

git clone https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection.git -b 3.x
cd mmdetection
python mmdet/utils/collect_env.py

Appears to be bug in collect env:

root@3deae1c5c230:~/mmdetection# python -V
Python 3.8.13
root@3deae1c5c230:~/mmdetection# python mmdet/utils/collect_env.py

ImportError: cannot import name 'List' from partially initialized module 'typing' (most likely due to a circular import) (/root/mmdetection/mmdet/utils/typing.py)

Additional information

I changed the logger to:

log_config = dict(  # config to register logger hook
    interval=50,  # Interval to print the log
    hooks=[
        dict(type='TextLoggerHook'),
        dict(type='TensorboardLoggerHook', log_dir='/opt/ml/checkpoints')
    ]
)

and set work-dir to /opt/ml/checkpoints
