Update tools to consider both directories and files when searching for .git #5039
Description
As was discovered in #5023 a pattern exists to look for .git directories when determining project roots, without also appropriately look for .git files. This may lead to tools working with the wrong version of files for any project within a git worktree.
I believe the list of files where this happens are:

I'll try to keep the above list updated as they get addressed. Please mention this issue if pushing a PR for some the file(s).
Documentation should be updated for at least the ones of these which mentions searching for a .git directory. It might be nice to improve documentation also for the ones which currently fails to mention it.
