I am playing around with detached worktrees and have identified
 a number of bugs in the path handling. Specifically, it seems that
 while git-status and git-add/git-rm are consistent with respect to
 each other, they expose different behaviour in different scenarios.
 git-diff, on the other hand, seems broken with respect to worktree
 handling.

 Let me run you through what I did, bugs are
 identified with ###BUG. Output is prefixed with #, which should make
 it easier to cut-n-paste to reproduce

I don't know if it resolves all the issues, but:

- If run outside of the working copy => equivalent to run it from the
top of the wc.
  (for the normal case it just fails)

- It is not recommended (supported?) to have the repository inside the
working directory
  (unless it is .git, of course)
