Back when I tried to fix the worktree issue (still the subject of some of my nightmares), I set the GIT_DIR (IIRC) to the absolute path, just to make sure that it works in all cases, even when the work tree is far away from the GIT_DIR (think DOS drives, blech). I could be mistaken, but I think it was there that somebody did some timing and found that lstats on hundreds of absolute paths were substantially slower than on relative paths. Now, think of git-gc in a large number of bare repositories, such as repo.or.cz. It does matter there.
