### Please describe the problem.
When `--git-dir` and `--work-tree` deviate from standard, running commands like `git annex list` fails in untracked directories.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
- see transcript below
- separate `--git-dir` and `--work-tree` as commonly used to track one's dotfiles
- run `git annex list` in an untracked directory
- error is `error: pathspec 'DIRECTORY' did not match any file(s) known to git`
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
git-annex version: 10.20230627-g2469720e1
### Please provide any additional information below.

git-annex sync will change default behavior to operate on --content in a future version of git-annex. Recommend you explicitly use --no-content (or -g) to prepare for that change. (Or you can configure annex.synccontent)

### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
Yep, git-annex is awesome! 🥳
