That is solvable without needing multiple directories in
$GIT_EXEC_PATH. vcsh, which also solves the 'multiple repos with same
workdir' problem in a very thin wrapper around git, does this by
setting core.excludesfile in the per repo config to a unique path.
hurricane:~$ vcsh dotfiles config core.excludesfile
.gitignore.d/dotfiles
hurricane:~$ vcsh secrets config core.excludesfile
.gitignore.d/secrets
