Hmm.. core.worktree is relative to $GIT_DIR. Whether "config" is a
symlink should have no effects.
$ pwd
/tmp/abc
$ ls -l .git/config
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pclouds users 11 Feb 9 15:57 .git/config -> /tmp/config
$ cat /tmp/config
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
worktree = ../../worktree
$ ls -l /tmp/worktree/
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 pclouds users 5 Feb 9 15:59 abc
$ ~/w/git/git ls-files -o
abc
Maybe it's something else. Could you produce a small test case?
