Hello,

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
- Create a worktree of a git in a new directory
- Add prepare-commit-msg hook
- Open `git gui` UI from the worktree directory

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
It should fill the commit field with the hooks

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
Nothing

The hook works fine in the original directory (with the full .git)
