Yes, on startup, tig checks git-rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree and
disables things like the status view if it is false. I don't know how
much work it would be to start using core.worktree. It might be as
simple as setting the GIT_DIR environment to getcwd() + output of
git-rev-parse --git-dir and then chdir() to core.worktree.
