No. Those files should always be created inside the ".git" directory, wherever it is. Failing to creating a file in there is usually a serious error and the command will abort. Unless there is a bug lurking around of course, but I can't nail it down with just code audit.

Since the content of those files does not look like from "G:\Min enhet" repo, do you know which repo they belong to (and where those repo and worktree are)? I ask because if these are submodules of "G:\Min enhet" for example, then we need to head another direction. Or if they are completely unrelated to "G:\Min enhet", oh boy...
