Previously 'git rev-parse --show-toplevel' was used to determine the canonical work-tree only when the installed git version was detected to be 1.7.0 or better. The fall-back logic used the core.worktree config variable which in the case of a submodule is a relative path from the submodule's $GIT_DIR. Unfortunately vsatisfies doesn't handle versions like v2.0.0.rc0 so the fall-back logic is triggered. Given the fact that git 1.7.0 was released over 4 years ago rather than fixing the fall-back logic it seems reasonable to drop the version check. Signed-off-by: Chris Packham <judge.packham@xxxxxxxxx> --- So I'm not sure if vsatisfies is failing because the version has .rc0 or because it thinks v2.0.0 < 1.7.0. Regardless I think it's reasonably safe to assume that people who are using the newer versions of git-gui are running new enough versions of git. There is also a similar section in rescan_stage2 that is checking for the version being 1.6.3 or newer. Again I think it's probably safe to assume that no-one is running a version of git that old (or at least no-one that wants to run this version of git-gui). I'm not quite sure how to excercise that bit of code so I haven't attempted to fix that. git-gui.sh | 20 ++++---------------- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-gui.sh b/git-gui.sh index cf2209b..9ded5b9 100755 --- a/git-gui.sh +++ b/git-gui.sh @@ -1282,23 +1282,11 @@ if {![file isdirectory $_gitdir]} { load_config 0 apply_config -# v1.7.0 introduced --show-toplevel to return the canonical work-tree -if {[package vsatisfies $_git_version 1.7.0]} { - if { [is_Cygwin] } { - catch {set _gitworktree [exec cygpath --windows [git rev-parse --show-toplevel]]} - } else { - set _gitworktree [git rev-parse --show-toplevel] - } +# Determine the canonical work-tree +if { [is_Cygwin] } { + catch {set _gitworktree [exec cygpath --windows [git rev-parse --show-toplevel]]} } else { - # try to set work tree from environment, core.worktree or use - # cdup to obtain a relative path to the top of the worktree.
