That's not true. The core.worktree config variable tells the top of the worktree, so once you've located the repository, you know where the worktree is. Indeed, it's not clear why GIT_WORK_TREE exists, as that allows the user to set GIT_WORK_TREE inconsistently with core.worktree. (What happens if you do that?)
