Isn't the rule that the current directory becomes the root of the
working tree if you did not have GIT_WORK_TREE?

In any case, the way I read Fr=C3=A9d=C3=A9ric is that the other reposi=
tory's
files will be accessed only from the root of the working tree, so as
long as the GIT_DIR/config says it is not a bare repository, it
should be OK.
