The problem seems to be that git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree does
not honor these. In fact it doesn't even honor --git-dir or --work-tree.
Judging by the name this may be intentional.

Thanks for investigating this.

Duy, you are the expert on the worktree detection logic.  Do you know if
there is a reason for --is-inside-work-tree to not honor the
GIT_WORK_TREE / GIT_DIR overrides?

It should. At the beginning of cmd_rev_parse(), setup_git_directory()
is called, which will check and follow all GIT_* or their command line
equivalent. I'll look into this some time later.
