worktree: detect from secondary worktree if main worktree is bare #1829
Conversation
Welcome to GitGitGadgetHi @olga-mcbfe, and welcome to GitGitGadget, the GitHub App to send patch series to the Git mailing list from GitHub Pull Requests. Please make sure that either:
You can CC potential reviewers by adding a footer to the PR description with the following syntax: NOTE: DO NOT copy/paste your CC list from a previous GGG PR's description, Also, it is a good idea to review the commit messages one last time, as the Git project expects them in a quite specific form:
It is in general a good idea to await the automated test ("Checks") in this Pull Request before contributing the patches, e.g. to avoid trivial issues such as unportable code. Contributing the patchesBefore you can contribute the patches, your GitHub username needs to be added to the list of permitted users. Any already-permitted user can do that, by adding a comment to your PR of the form Both the person who commented An alternative is the channel Once on the list of permitted usernames, you can contribute the patches to the Git mailing list by adding a PR comment If you want to see what email(s) would be sent for a After you submit, GitGitGadget will respond with another comment that contains the link to the cover letter mail in the Git mailing list archive. Please make sure to monitor the discussion in that thread and to address comments and suggestions (while the comments and suggestions will be mirrored into the PR by GitGitGadget, you will still want to reply via mail). If you do not want to subscribe to the Git mailing list just to be able to respond to a mail, you can download the mbox from the Git mailing list archive (click the curl -g --user "<EMailAddress>:<Password>" \
--url "imaps://imap.gmail.com/INBOX" -T /path/to/raw.txtTo iterate on your change, i.e. send a revised patch or patch series, you will first want to (force-)push to the same branch. You probably also want to modify your Pull Request description (or title). It is a good idea to summarize the revision by adding something like this to the cover letter (read: by editing the first comment on the PR, i.e. the PR description): To send a new iteration, just add another PR comment with the contents: Need help?New contributors who want advice are encouraged to join [email protected], where volunteers who regularly contribute to Git are willing to answer newbie questions, give advice, or otherwise provide mentoring to interested contributors.

Setup: 1. Have a bare repo with core.bare = true in config.worktree 2. Create a new worktree Behavior: From the secondary worktree the main worktree appears as non-bare. Expected: From the secondary worktree the main worktree should appear as bare. Why current behavior is not good? If the main worktree is detected as not bare it doesn't allow checking out the branch of the main worktree. There are possibly other problems associated with that behavior. Why is it happening? While we're inside the secondary worktree we don't initialize the main worktree's repository with its configuration. How is it fixed? Load actual configs of the main worktree. Also, skip the config loading step if we're already inside the current worktree because in that case we rely on is_bare_repository() to return the correct result. Other solutions considered: Alternatively, instead of incorrectly always using `the_repository` as the main worktree's repository, we can detect and load the actual repository of the main worktree and then use that repository's `is_bare` value extracted from correct configs. However, this approach is a bit riskier and could also affect performance. Since we had the assignment `worktree->repo = the_repository` for a long time already, I decided it's safe to keep it as it is for now; it can be still fixed separately from this change. Real life use case: 1. Have a bare repo 2. Create a worktree from the bare repo 3. In the secondary worktree enable sparse-checkout - this enables extensions.worktreeConfig and keeps core.bare=true setting in config.worktree of the bare worktree 4. The secondary worktree or any other non-bare worktree created won't be able to use branch main (not even once), but it should be able to. Signed-off-by: Olga Pilipenco <[email protected]>
