Works fine for me.  Are you sure you didn't have a typo in your 
original git-new-workdir invocation?  If so, could you supply:

  1) the complete output of running git-new-workdir
  2) the output of "git rev-parse --git-dir" run in path/to/repo/.git

Also, you shouldn't need to supply the .git, so "git new-workdir 
path/to/repo newworkdirname" should also work, have you tried that?
