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.
