Not a problem per se, but you should look at the comment at the top of
t1510 to see where it is relative to. Two interesting rules:

2. .git file is relative to parent directory. .git file is basically
   symlink in disguise. The directory where .git file points to will
   become new git_dir.

3. core.worktree is relative to git_dir.
