Okay, I have it reproducible 💪 and I think I found my problem too. So first I will describe my problem and solution and then below you will find my setup/steps to reproduce it.

My problem & solution

When I created the repo, I had set core.untrackedCache = true in my global .gitconfig. As described by @zkmoney, this triggers the error => error: invalid checksum
Only changing core.untrackedCache to false in my .gitconfig did not work and I still have the same error
BUT: If I run a git command (e.g. git status) in the repo after changing core.untrackedCache, the error is gone 🥳

So I guess that something must be executed that changes/updates the git index (maybe the term index is wrong - I don't have deep insight into how git works). Just changing core.untrackedCache without doing anything in the repo itself did nothing.

Steps to reproduce

Have the following in you .gitconfig

[core]
	untrackedCache = true

Do the following steps to create the repo:

git init
touch README.md
git add README.md
git commit -m "INIT"
git status

And this is my go program. I received the error from the worktree.Status() method.

path := "/path/to/my/repo"

r, err := g.PlainOpen(path)
if err != nil {
	return err
}

worktree, err := r.Worktree()
if err != nil {
	return err
}

status, err := worktree.Status()
if err != nil {
	return err
}

Worktree.Status() always fail #299
