This is where the problem is created already: git init does not quite
notice that it is in a linked worktree. It treats

source-repo/.git/worktrees/worktree

as a proper gitdir and creates the full gitdir structure in there
(branches, hooks, info) which is usually shared among worktrees; also,
it adds the config setting

core.worktree = <abspath>/worktree

to the main config (source-repo/.git/config) which is why "git status"
thinks that bar is missing - it indeed is in that worktree.

I've cc'ed the master of worktrees.
