We are currently solving the following issue within our repository. Here is the issue text:
--- BEGIN ISSUE ---
[BUG] Git version not logged when executable in current path.
### Issues Policy acknowledgement

- [X] I have read and agree to submit bug reports in accordance with the [issues policy](https://www.github.com/mlflow/mlflow/blob/master/ISSUE_POLICY.md)

### Where did you encounter this bug?

Local machine

### Willingness to contribute

Yes. I can contribute a fix for this bug independently.

### MLflow version

- Client: 2.8.0

### System information

- **OS Platform and Distribution (e.g., Linux Ubuntu 16.04)**: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
- **Python version**: 3.11.6


### Describe the problem

The tag ``mlflow.source.git.commit`` is not populated if running a python file that's in the current path.
Imagine a file ``mypath/myfile.py`` with this content:
```python
from mlflow.tracking.context.git_context import _get_source_version
print(_get_source_version())
```
If you run from within ``mypath`` via ``python myfile.py`` this will not produce a version,
but if you run from the parent folder via ``python mypath/myfile.py`` it will produce the correct version.

That is caused by [`get_git_commit`](https://github.com/mlflow/mlflow/blob/73fbc7d857b3f04b823b3fcbc6723efc41070288/mlflow/utils/git_utils.py#L47C1-L49C39)
using the path of the ``argv[1]``, and then passing this to ``Repo``. If the path is the current directory, ``os.path.dirname(path)`` will be the empty string, which will make ``Repo`` raise 
```
git.exc.GitCommandError: Cmd('git') failed due to: exit code(128)
  cmdline: git check-ignore
  stderr: 'fatal: empty string is not a valid pathspec. please use . instead if you meant to match all paths
```
which will be caught, and then an empty string will be returned.

A work-around could be as easy as replacing empty string by ``'.'``, or maybe better using ``os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(path))``?
