You can export GIT_DIR to make the .git directory be somewhere else...
and you'll probalby want a corresponding GIT_WORK_TREE (or core.worktree
config) set.
If your careful (i.e. don't make a mistake), you can set GIT_DIR and
GIT_INDEX_FILE AND GIT_WORK_TREE, and use a single "git repository"
among multiple independent "working directories".
That said, is the carefulness needed to work that worth the < 200KB
you save?
On a "referenced" style development repository:

4.0K .git/branches
4.0K .git/config

8.0K .git/info
36K .git/logs
16K .git/objects
4.0K .git/packed-refs
32K .git/refs
488K total
488K total in the .git directory, 328K of that is the index.
