I do not know this is an appropriate itch to scratch for a
Windows developer to begin with. The new-workdir setting *is*
about symlinked .git/ metainfo space. If somebody wants to work
on a filesystem without symlink, he should not be using
new-workdir but something else. E.g. GIT_DIR + GIT_WORK_TREE,
or perhaps GIT_DIR + core.worktree comes to mind.
