There is a "proc gitworktree" that does use --show-toplevel but it is fairly conservative and assumes these calls can fail. ... if {[catch {set _gitworktree [exec git rev-parse --show-toplevel]}]} { if {[catch { set _gitworktree $env(GIT_WORK_TREE) }]} { catch {set _gitworktree [exec git config --get core.worktree]} if {$_gitworktree eq ""} { set _gitworktree [file normalize ./[exec git rev-parse --show-cdup]] } However, there is this call set worktree [exec git rev-parse --show-toplevel] at the top-level of the code. I wonder if the obvious and minimum fix would be sufficient, i.e. -set worktree [exec git rev-parse --show-toplevel] +set worktree [gitworktree] around l.12546
