I suspect it's not _useful_ also, because it would prevent
you from relocating your git work tree to some other path
while getting predictable results.  I'm unable to think of a
use-case where that would be desirable, but I admit I
haven't thought about it too much.

If you could look at either of my two submissions in this
thread, and comment on whether they would have helped you in
this regard, I'd appreciate it very much.

I prefer the second one that I sent, but don't let that
prejudice you ;-)
