As said before, I would not expect a file .git/gitdir to be there if
not using submodules.
For your OT question, I'd presume you'd have environment variables setup
    export GIT_DIR=path_with_no_dots_and_git_repo_in_it # you mention
that is in your posix FS
    export GIT_WORK_TREE=/some.place.with.dot.separators
and you'd be good to go.
