It works fine for me. What's the result of

git '--git-dir=/path/to/repository/.git'
'--work-tree=/path/to/repository' --git-dir
git '--git-dir=/path/to/repository/.git'
'--work-tree=/path/to/repository' --is-inside-work-tree
git '--git-dir=/path/to/repository/.git'
'--work-tree=/path/to/repository' --show-toplevel

?

Also what version of git are you using?
