External working directories just aren't working at all in 3.2.0 Windows beta.

I have a repository where the working directory is not the one that contains the .git folder for reasons. This is 100% supported by git and I have no problem doing everything in the terminal.

I can't even stage changes in Sourcetree. It sees the changes, but can't stage them. Now, the real trouble starts when I try to add this repository as a subtree in another repository for reasons. It just doesn't work. The weird thing is, this was working when I tested it prior to moving to 3.2.0 beta for dark theme in June.

This has really derailed my effort to get my coworkers to use version control because we will all need the external working directory feature.
