Place .git and .gitignore in another folder

[tildebox]

Version info

• OS: Windows 10, 64-bit
• Sublime Merge Build: 1204
• Git: 2.25.1

Description

It works with GitExtensions, but not with Sublime Merge.

Support for core.worktree was in Build 1084.

My structure:

C:\ project \ A \ [Project files]

C:\ git \ A \ .git [Folder]
C:\ git \ A \ .gitignore [File]

Command line

C:\ git \ A \ git config core.worktree C:/project/A
C:\ git \ A \ git config core.excludesFile C:/git/A/.gitignore

After that the C:\ git \ A \ .git \ config file looks like that:

[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = false
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
symlinks = false
ignorecase = true
worktree = C:/project/A
excludesFile = C:/git/A/.gitignore

Now I open Sublime Merge and see the changed/untracked files.

But, if I click on Stage I get following error:

fatal: not a git repository: ‘/C/git/A/.git’

In the Console I got 2 lines:

Executing: “C:\Users\blabla\Downloads\sublime_merge_build_1204_x64\Git\cmd\git.exe” “add” “–” “Hello World.txt”
Working dir: C:\project\A

With Command line it works:

PS C:\git\A> git status
On branch master

No commits yet

Untracked files:
(use “git add …” to include in what will be committed)
Hello World.txt

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use “git add” to track)
PS C:\git\A> git add “Hello World.txt”
PS C:\git\A> git commit -m “initial”
[master (root-commit) e2c7185] initial
1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 Hello World.txt
PS C:\git\A>

Here I added a new file and clicked stage:
