[PATCH] Support working directory located at root

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Git should work regardless where the working directory is located,
even at root. This patch fixes two places where it assumes working
directory always have parent directory.

In setup_git_directory_gently(), when Git goes up to root and finds
.git there, it happily sets worktree to "".

In prefix_path(), loosen the outside repo check a little bit. Usually
when a path XXX is inside worktree /foo, it must be either "/foo", or
"/foo/...". When worktree is simply "/", we can safely ignore the
check: we have a slash at the beginning already.

Not related to worktree, but also set gitdir correctly if a bare repo
is placed (insanely?) at root.

Thanks João Carlos Mendes Luís for pointing out this problem.

 Tell me if this patch is rejected, I'll send another one that makes
 setup_git_* die() if worktree/gitdir is to be set empty. I don't think we
 expect gitdir or worktree to be empty anywhere.
