This is not what the output of git-status suggests:

lapse:~|master|.fgits/zsh.git% git status #1,801 # On branch master # Changed but not updated: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # # modified: ../../.zsh/zshrc/30_aliases # no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

If, what you said were the case, it'd be .zsh/zshrc/30_aliases. ../.. is the setting of core.worktree.
