Description
There doesn't seem to be any way to specify a different git-directory (different than the default .git), something equivalent to git --git-dir=... --work-tree=.... Does this exist and I just can't find it?

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the repository-opening API and checking how it chooses the git directory and work tree; done means establishing whether separate paths are supported and, if so, exposing or documenting an equivalent to Git's --git-dir and --work-tree options.
