In 3a5c09f git-cola doesn't recognize a linked working tree anymore. The menu to select a repo is shown instead.

I bisected the problem and found that bea1333 might introduce the problem.

Interesting. I'm not familiar with "linked working trees". Can you explain how to recreate this kind of setup? I'm sure we can make this work again.

A repository can have multiple worktrees. You manage them with "git worktree". In such a "secondary" (or "linked") worktree, ".git" is just a file with a pointer to its own ".git" directory within the repository's ".git" directory.
