Instructions from `.gitpod.yml` are build run while it does not exist

Bug description

Opening a new workspace of my repo outputs:

 HISTFILE=/workspace/.gitpod/cmd-0 history -r; {
[ -r /workspace/.prebuild-log-0 ] && cat /workspace/.prebuild-log-0; [ -r /workspace/.gitpod/prebuild-log-0 ] && cat /workspace/.gitpod/prebuild-log-0; true
} && {
echo 'TODO: start app'

}
gitpod /workspace/schrodinger (main) $  HISTFILE=/workspace/.gitpod/cmd-0 history -r; {
> [ -r /workspace/.prebuild-log-0 ] && cat /workspace/.prebuild-log-0; [ -r /workspace/.gitpod/prebuild-log-0 ] && cat /workspace/.gitpod/prebuild-log-0; true
> } && {
> echo 'TODO: start app'
> 
> }
TODO: start app

However, there is no .gitpod.yml in my repo and there is no "Project" for this repo either.

Steps to reproduce

Open https://github.com/armanbilge/schrodinger/ in GitPod.

Workspace affected

No response

Expected behavior

.gitpod.yml should not be processed when it doesn't exist.
There should be no history -r in this situation, or at least there should be a way to disable it :)

Anything else?

Also, attempting to trigger manual prebuild results in:

It seems like I'm experiencing this too, my new changes on .gitpod.yml aren't being reflected on the resulting workspaces. So, for example, a task:command is being run on a terminal that I had removed on a git-commit before opening the repo, while at the same time, it does not exist on the .gitpod.yml file present inside my workspace.

Update: I pushed a new commit to the main branch on my repo and the issue has gone away.

However, if you specifically create a workspace at the previous commit you can still reproduce the problem described in this issue.
