git status doesn't ignore GIT_DIR directory?

I renamed my .git directory to _git and I'm surprised that git status thinks that it's an untracked file:

$ GIT_DIR=_git git status
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        _git/

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

This doesn't seem to make sense, shouldn't git ignore whatever $GIT_DIR points to? Or is there some other magic option I need to use for it to do what I expect?
