Patrick Steinhardt 39abd3ad 2016-11-04T13:39:54 worktree: compute workdir for worktrees opened via their gitdir When opening a worktree via the gitdir of its parent repository we fail to correctly set up the worktree's working directory. The problem here is two-fold: we first fail to see that the gitdir actually is a gitdir of a working tree and then subsequently fail to determine the working tree location from the gitdir. The first problem of not noticing a gitdir belongs to a worktree can be solved by checking for the existence of a `gitdir` file in the gitdir. This file points back to the gitlink file located in the working tree's working directory. As this file only exists for worktrees, it should be sufficient indication of the gitdir belonging to a worktree. The second problem, that is determining the location of the worktree's working directory, can then be solved by reading the `gitdir` file in the working directory's gitdir. When we now resolve relative paths and strip the final `.git` component, we have the actual worktree's working directory location.

Patrick Steinhardt c09fd54e 2015-09-16T12:10:11 repository: introduce commondir variable The commondir variable stores the path to the common directory. The common directory is used to store objects and references shared across multiple repositories. A current use case is the newly introduced `git worktree` feature, which sets up a separate working copy, where the backing git object store and references are pointed to by the common directory.
