When check_linked_checkout() discovers that the branch is already checked out elsewhere, it emits the diagnostic: 'blorp' is already checked out at '/some/path/.git' which is misleading since "checked out at" implies the working tree, but ".git" is the location of the repository administrative files. Fix by dropping ".git" from the message. Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes since v2: strip only trailing ".git" rather than "/.git" from "already checked" diagnostic[1]; reword commit message to better emphasize that trailing ".git" is more than a mere cosmetic issue[1] [1]: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/274035 builtin/checkout.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/builtin/checkout.c b/builtin/checkout.c index 177ad6a..de6619f 100644 --- a/builtin/checkout.c +++ b/builtin/checkout.c @@ -909,6 +909,7 @@ static void check_linked_checkout(const char *branch, const char *id) } else strbuf_addstr(&gitdir, get_git_common_dir()); skip_prefix(branch, "refs/heads/", &branch); + strbuf_strip_suffix(&gitdir, ".git"); die(_("'%s' is already checked out at '%s'"), branch, gitdir.buf); done: strbuf_release(&path); -- 2.5.0.rc2.378.g0af52e8 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
