When it is run in a worktree 'git for-each-ref' only seems to show refs

even though they are local to the worktree.
Initially I thought this was due to $GIT_COMMON_DIR pointing to a bare
repo, but that is not the case. However while writing a test case which
cloned to a bare repo I noticed it was listing a ref for the HEAD of a
worktree in the repo I had cloned from, not the clone itself.
Ignore that last paragraph, it's just showing the branch that got
created when the worktree was created. The last part of the script is
redundant, I've updated it below
# setup initial repo
mkdir repo &&
cd repo &&
git init &&
echo a>a &&
git add a &&
git commit -ma &&
#add a worktree and set a ref under refs/rewritten
git worktree add ../worktree-1 &&
cd ../worktree-1 &&
echo 'worktree-1 adding refs/rewritten/a' &&
git update-ref refs/rewritten/a HEAD &&
git rev-parse --verify refs/rewritten/a &&
echo 'refs/rewritten/a exists but is not shown' &&
git for-each-ref &&
# add a ref under refs/rewritten to the main repo
cd ../repo &&
echo 'repo adding refs/rewritten/z' &&
git update-ref refs/rewritten/z HEAD &&
git for-each-ref &&
cd ../worktree-1 &&
echo 'worktree-1 now shows refs/rewritten/a' &&
git for-each-ref

The script below reproduces both issues, I've copied the output below
it. I'm not sure what's going on or the best way to debug it.
