I was thinking about adding check_repository_format_version() and a check for inside_work_tree < 0 with obvious handling in two places, probably as a function: first, when we have a gitdirenv but no work_tree_env, and second, at the end of _gently() when we found a git dir but only if work_tree_env was not set. > > As far as I see, setup_git_directory_gently() only works correctly > > when core.worktree is _not_ set, unless GIT_WORK_TREE is set (which is > > supposed to override the config setting).

Wouldn't you agree that the prefix _gently() returns is wrong if we don't fix it? Besides, it might be needed anyway if we are serious about the version check. This check, however, would have to be done _whenever_ we found a git directory, not only when work_tree_env is NULL. But we could break down _gently() quite nicely. ATM it both handles the cases when gitdirenv was set, and when it was unset. Even if those are really two pretty different situations.
