Yeah, I agree it's questionable.

I don't quite get why f57f37e2 doesn't want to call git_path(). Is it to
avoid the way the path is munged? Or is it to avoid some lazy-setup that
is triggered by calling get_git_dir() at all (which doesn't make much
sense to me, because we'd already have called get_git_dir() much
earlier). Or is it just because we may sometimes fill in refs->git_dir
with something besides get_git_dir() (for a submodule or worktree or
something)?

I.e., can we do one of (depending on which of those answers is "yes"):

  1. Stop caching the value of get_git_dir(), and instead call it
     on-demand instead of looking at refs->git_dir? (If we just want to
     avoid git_path()).

  2. If we need to avoid even calling get_git_dir(), can we add a
     "light" version of it that avoids whatever side effects we're
     trying to skip?

  3. If the problem is just that sometimes we need get_git_dir() and
     sometimes not, could we perhaps store NULL as a sentinel to mean
     "look up get_git_dir() when you need it"?

     That would let submodules and worktrees fill in their paths as
     necessary (assuming they never change after init), but handle the
     case of get_git_dir() changing.

Hmm. Typing that out, it seems like (3) is probably the right path.
Something like the patch below seems to fix it and passes the tests.
