Grammar
whether it be or be it
please tell me if all are correct?
I saw this sentence on a site:
Be it in a blowout or a close game, this team has shown it can win any number of ways.
Is it correct? Are the below also correct and mean the same?
A Whether it be in a blowout or a close game, this team has shown it can win any number of ways.
B Whether it's a blowout or a close game, this team has shown it can win any number of ways.
Which is correct, if any?
A Whether it's a little crack or whether you window is shattered, we can repair it at a low fee.
B Whether it be a little crack or whether you window is shattered, we can repair it at a low fee.
C Be it a little crack or whether you window is shattered, we can repair it at a low fee.
many thanks

I think it is an inverted if clause, and as far as I know it is a true usage. A=B but i dont understand why to use "in" at A. I think all three are grammatically true BUT a better usage can be by throwing away the second whether in the subordinate clause
