Git root dir does not work for worktrees

[blakehurlburt]

When using a worktree, gradle tasks run into the following error:

java.nio.file.FileSystemException: <worktree directory>/.git/config: Not a directory
        at com.palantir.gradle.gitversion.GitVersionPlugin.gitRepo(GitVersionPlugin.java:73)

        at com.palantir.gradle.gitversion.GitVersionPlugin.apply(GitVersionPlugin.java:29)

Lines 87 to 101 in 26eada3

	private static File scanForRootGitDir(File currentRoot) {
	File gitDir = new File(currentRoot, ".git");
	if (gitDir.exists()) {
	return gitDir;
	}
	// stop at the root directory, return non-existing File object;
	if (currentRoot.getParentFile() == null) {
	return gitDir;
	}
	// look in parent directory;
	return scanForRootGitDir(currentRoot.getParentFile());
	}

This seems to assume the .git file in the repo is always a git dir, which is not true for worktrees.

The correct solution is to use the command git rev-parse --git-dir for the worktree-specific git dir, and git rev-parse --git-common-dir for the shared git dir for all worktrees in the checkout.

I am observing the same issue! Is there a workaround for this ?

This exact issue happens using git submodules: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Submodules

I imagine it's related to worktrees as well having .git files with references to the parent .git folder. I was having a hard time with the difference in naming.

I am also seeing the issue! Could you fix the issue? Thanks!
