   It does not seem like this is a Window-specific problem, or is it, @Keepun?

   But the problem is probably in "git gui".
   "git status" shows a list of files.

   Bug in Git\libexec\git-core\git-gui.tcl:

   1266: set _gitdir [git rev-parse --git-dir]
   _gitdir = .git
   1335: if {[catch {cd $_gitworktree} err]} {
   Change PWD. But _gitdir is not an absolute path, and it depends on the PWD.
   

   And bug in:

   1278: if {$_gitdir eq "."} {
   1279:   set _gitdir [pwd]
   1280: }
   

   GIT_DIR=. git gui
   

   Atlassian SourceTree and GitExtensions can not work with core.worktree

   Temporary fix for Git GUI:

   git config --global alias.ngui '!git --git-dir=`pwd`/.git gui'
   git ngui

   @Keepun I missed that you updated your very terse explanation. So now it looks as if your problem might be solved by extending

   if {$_gitdir eq "."} {
      set _gitdir [pwd]
   }

   to

   if {$_gitdir eq "."} {
      set _gitdir [pwd]
   } elseif ($_gitdir eq .git) {
      set _gitdir [pwd]/.git
   }

   If that fixes your problem, please report back and I will integrate the patch into Git for Windows 2.x.
