`mbed new` creates a Git repository

See original GitHub issue

Calling mbed new . creates an empty Git repository in the folder where I call it.

This is problematic if I’m calling it within Git repository already.

Woah, apparently you can already do --scm none! I just tried it locally to confirm no git repository was created.

Actually, it seems that this is already documented there:

You can instruct Mbed CLI to use a specific source control management system or prevent source control management initialization, by using --scm [name|none] option.

Other scm names are not visible there, but none is quite self explanatory.
