Hi,
"git worktree add" write absolute path in ".git/gitdir"

The code source is here https://git.kernel.org/cgit/git/git.git/tree/builtin/worktree.c?h=v2.10.1#n256

Is it possible to use relative path in this config files:
* [main_worktree]/.git/worktrees/[worktree_foobar]/gitdir
* [worktree_foobar]/.git
Why:
1. I configure worktree on my host
2. next I use this git working copy in Docker with volume share
3. next I've some git error in Docker because config files use absolute path

Best regards, Stéphane
