I'm getting good at fixing one bug and adding ten more. I don't think
the cited commit is the problem. It just exposes another bug. I did

> ~/w/git $ GIT_WORK_TREE=abc ./git clone .git /tmp/def

and what I got was really surprising, /tmp/def contains the git
repository while the true worktree is in "abc". It does not make
sense, at least from the first sight, unless it inherits this from
git-init, where we do(?)  want GIT_WORK_TREE to specify a separate
worktree. No time to dig to the bottom yet..
