My understanding was that such a configuration is essentially tracking
the same set of files in two different git repositories. The location
of the .git is not important, I could just as easily set the working
directory of any git repository to be a folder tracked by another
repository.

My concerns would be based primarily on the different repositories
trying to act on the same files at the same time. Ignoring the
sub-folder completely within the encompassing repository would avoid
that, however you might have use cases that prohibit that.

Out of interest, what itch are you scratching by using this model?
