My gut feeling is that a much better solution to the unstated
problem you are solving is to make sure that "git worktree add" will
complain and not allow adding a subdirectory of any existing working
tree of a repository as a new worktree.

What problem are you trying to solve?  "git add foo" where "foo" is
actually a different worktree of the repository would add it as a
submodule that causes confusion?  If that is the case, I think the
right solution is not to get into such a state, i.e. not create a
worktree of the repository inside a different worktree in the first
place.
