…root (#53443) In `update_git_repositories`, a `.git` path outside the worktree root can occur legitimately when `.git` is a gitfile (as in linked worktrees and submodules) pointing to a directory in the parent repo. Previously this triggered a `debug_panic!`, crashing debug builds. Now we skip the path with a `debug_assert!` that it is indeed a file (not a directory), so a genuine `.git` directory outside the worktree root would still be caught in debug builds. (No release notes because this is extremely hard to encounter until #53215 lands) Release Notes: - N/A
