I researched this also and concluded that it's a bug in git-commit.
You run afoul of it in other situations, as well. For instance, say
you have your index file in a non-standard location:
$ export GIT_INDEX_FILE=../storage/index
$ git worktree add --detach other
Preparing worktree (detached HEAD c9156d2)
fatal: Unable to create '/.../foo/other/../storage/index.lock': No
such file or directory
$
I think the correct fix is for git-commit to assign GIT_INDEX_FILE
with the absolute path to the index file, not a relative path.
