Actually, I'd almost say put it into .git/config, e.g.:
mkdir .git
cat >.git/config <<EOF
[core]
repositoryversion = 0
filemode = true
link = /path/to/source
EOF
as then the index and HEAD file can both be stored in .git, just
like with the non-gitlink case.
This is not usable at least for me as it does not allow sharing
the .git/config file across checkouts.

Me either.
What I thought of after writing that was that core.link should
also imply reading ${core.link}/config before .git/config, so that
the repository config can override the master repository, but the
master repository provides the bulk of the configuration.

Can't you take linked .git/config and override it with stuff from local
.git/config in that case? Don't replace, supraposition.
Take somewhat contrived example of having checkout on a FAT partition
linking to a repository on a sane filesystem (are you permanently short
on disk space on your /home partition too, except for about two months
right after you double your disk capacity? :). You might want to disable
core.fileMode there. Maybe this will not ever happen in real world and
we might not care. Maybe not...
