My apologies if this has already been reported, but I ran into an
interesting bug with worktrees. In particular, I have an alias 'st'
that maps to 'status -sb'. When running this under a subdirectory of
a worktree created with 'git worktree add', it fails complaining that
the work tree has already been set.
Here's a script to reproduce the problem:
git init test-repo
cd test-repo
git config --local alias.st 'status -sb'
mkdir subdir
echo file > subdir/file.txt
git add subdir/file.txt
git commit -m 'add file'
git branch foo
git worktree add ../new-worktree foo
cd ../new-worktree/subdir
echo "new line" >> file.txt
echo "this will work"
git status -sb
echo "this fails"
git st
When I run it, I see this:
Initialized empty Git repository in
/home/jszakmeister/tmp/test-case/test-repo/.git/
[master (root-commit) 1ec5360] add file
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
create mode 100644 subdir/file.txt
Enter ../new-worktree (identifier new-worktree)
Switched to branch 'foo'
this will work
## foo
this fails
fatal: internal error: work tree has already been set
Current worktree: /home/jszakmeister/tmp/test-case/new-worktree
New worktree: /home/jszakmeister/tmp/test-case/new-worktree/subdir
Hope this helps!
