Are you sure the patch would help?
For one thing, I do not think we supported such a layout,
officially or unofficially --- the thing is in contrib so it
could not be official, but that is besides the point ;-). Older
git might have worked by accident, though.
You may have made the part to create the new directory and make
bunch of symbolic links to work with your patch, but as far as I
know, new-workdir is designed to share the .git/config file with
the borrowed repository, which means the configuration would say
"core.bare = yes" for a bare repository. So I suspect that the
initial checkout after creating the new directory and populating
its .git would barf, although I haven't tested it.
