Sentry Crash Report:

Description Denis Lisov 2017-01-03 03:15:11 UTC 
Kate project plugin detects a Git-based project by checking whether `.git` exists and is a directory.

However, if the git checkout is a separate worktree attached to an external repository[0], `.git` is actually a file with contents like
```
gitdir: /home/username/path/to/.git/worktrees/worktree-name
```
and thus the directory is not detected as a git-based project. Would be very nice if it did work with git worktrees.
