Took me a while to find documentation for .git file format. Probably my
fault, missed the gitrepository-layout link.
Anyway, tried following:
$ echo path > .git
$ git info
fatal: Invalid gitfile format: .git
Maybe one solution is to improve the message - patch attached:
$ git info
fatal: Invalid gitfile format: .git
Use gitdir: <PATH>

Is this needed? As I understand
git init --real-git-dir=/where/real/git/is
should do the same as
git --git-dir=/where/real/git/is && \
echo "gitdir: /where/real/git/is" > ${GIT_DIR:-.git}
The other actions seems to be similarly simple.

I don't understand why is this needed. It's a bit complicated at first as well.
Adds extra layer to already existing .gitdir/.gitfile/GIT_DIR/--git-dir
