GitX does not work when `core.worktree` is used

I have a git repository that has a non-standard worktree set using core.worktree. When I attempt to open GitX from the git repo, I get a dialog error message stating that the worktree (the path is followed correctly) "does not appear to be a git repository".

If I attempt to open GitX directly from the worktree, I get a console error message stating "Could not find a git working directory."

Any chance of triage for this?

git 2.5 has made worktrees easier and thus probably more popular. It'd be lovely for gitx to play nicely with them.

Note, the libgit2 guys are waiting on the worktree support to be stabilized (and the git-worktree manpage sure seems to imply there are some things still being worked on), and they have much more insight in git's development that I have.

Also, I don't think that core.worktree and the new worktree support are actually the same thing, so @josharian's request is actually separate.
