[RFC/PATCH 4/4] Disallow working directory commands in a bare repository.

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

 



If the user tries to run a porcelainish command which requires
a working directory in a bare repository they may get unexpected
results which are difficult to predict and may differ from command
to command.

Instead we should detect that the current repository is a bare
repository and refuse to run the command there, as there is no
working directory associated with it.

 This is more of an RFC than an actual patch.  I think its a good
 idea (clearly, as I spent the time to write it) but this may break
 users who explicitly set GIT_DIR to some path which doesn't end in
 "/.git" (e.g. GIT_DIR=$HOME/foo.git).

 I've tried to only alter poreclainish and leave plumbing alone,
 under the rationale that a different Porcelain may have different
 behavior with regards to GIT_DIR.
