I stumbled over this during my recent work in Git GUI [https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/361] that was originally really only intended to use the correct hooks directory.
It turns out that my fears that index.lock was mishandled were unfounded, hence this patch series has a lot lower priority for me than "OMG we must push this into v2.24.0!".
Technically, the first patch is not needed (because I decided against adding a test to t1400 in the end, in favor of t1500), but it shouldn't hurt, either.
Changes since v1:
* Clarified the commit message to state that index.lock is fine, it is logs/HEAD.lock that isn't.

However, Git GUI just learned to use `--git-path` instead of appending
