FW: bug: fatal: this operation must be run in a work tree - after enabling worktreeConfig=true

Hi
(English is not my language)
We started to work with sparse-checkout and we found two issues.
We work with bare repository, with a worktree 'arounds' it.
Two issues:
Issue 1) fatal: this operation must be run in a work tree
TO reproduce, In bare repository:
git worktree add ../testwt pub/empty -no-checkout
Switch to worktree
git sparse-checkout init
Result:
fatal: this operation must be run in a work tree
any operation in any worktree now ends with:
fatal: this operation must be run in a work tree
This is because extensions.worktreeConfig=true
Workaround
1. core.bare=false in bare - not acceptable
2. Remove worktreeConfig=true - not good idea if we want to work with sparse-checkout
3. core.bare=false in worktree, but we need to apply it on any worktree
Please note that this happens even if in time of creating worktree worktreeConfig=true
Issue 2) fatal: Unable to create 'F:/views/MonoCentral/worktrees/testwt3/info/sparse-checkout.lock': No such file or directory
To reproduce, same as above, but worktreeConfig=false before starting,
Result:
fatal: Unable to create 'F:/views/MonoCentral/worktrees/testwt3/info/sparse-checkout.lock': No such file or directory
Workaround:
Set extensions.worktreeConfig=true before adding the worktree or running sparse-checkout
Thanks
Boaz
