One of the final ideas for "lightweight checkout" was having in
.git/config the location of "true" $GIT_DIR (or parts of it:
GIT_INDEX_FILE, GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY), and "shadowing" the rest
of "true $GIT_DIR" with what is present in .git. It means that
you can have .git/index and .git/HEAD, and if you don't find
appropriate .git/refs/heads/master file you look to "true $GIT_DIR".
