    1) Initialize a repository.
    2) Set the `core.worktree` location to a parent directory of the
       default worktree.
    3) Add a file located in the default worktree location to the index
       (i.e. anywhere in the immediate parent directory of the gitdir).

Prior to this commit, the `add` operation was silently ignored.
