Patrick Steinhardt 20a368e2 2017-03-15T15:29:29 worktree: parent path should point to the working dir The working tree's parent path should not point to the parent's gitdir, but to the parent's working directory. Pointing to the gitdir would not make any sense, as the parent's working directory is actually equal to both repository's common directory. Fix the issue.
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 2a503485 2015-10-21T16:03:04 worktree: implement locking mechanisms Working trees support locking by creating a file `locked` inside the tree's gitdir with an optional reason inside. Support this feature by adding functions to get and set the locking status.
Patrick Steinhardt d3bc09e8 2015-10-21T12:02:31 worktree: introduce `struct git_worktree` Introduce a new `struct git_worktree`, which holds information about a possible working tree connected to a repository. Introduce functions to allow opening working trees for a repository.
