Description
If you try to open a project with a devcontainer that is actually a worktree, the started container does not work as expected.
In a worktree, `.git` is not a directory, but a file containing:
```
gitdir: /hostpath/to/real/git
```
If the container uses git commands, all those will fail with different error messages. Commits will not work, submodules will fail among other things.
## fixes
What could possible work is to read the gitdir value and add this directory as volume to the same name as specified in the `.git` file.
