Working from a path outside the work tree is broken (read: not meeting the obvious/naive meaning of the --work-tree option and core.worktree setting) in many places, unfortunately. Some commands work with --git-dir and the like, but some just don't. I use a shell alias which cds into the work tree first. This works with everything except for some stubborn tcl/tk scripts doing their own thing (gui...) in case git-dir and work-tree are not in the standard places (.git, .).
