I understand the --git-dir=$HOME/x.git to keep track of
something in $HOME/foo/bar example.
But that is not the issue you described in the original message.
I was asking about this (which is the way I read your original
message):
$ GIT_DIR=$HOME/x.git git init
$ mkdir $HOME/x.git/workroot
$ cd $HOME/x.git/workroot
$ git --git-dir=../ --work-tree=.
That is, $HOME/x.git/ is the GIT_DIR that has HEAD, index and
refs/, and you are keeping track of contents whose rootlevel is
at $HOME/x.git/workroot
