Hello,
When a ".git" file points to another repo, a ".git/gitdir" file is
created in that repo.
For example, running
$ mkdir repo-a repo-b
$ cd repo-a
$ git init
$ cd ../repo-b
$ echo "gitdir: ../repo-a/.git" > .git
$ git status
results in a file "repo-a/.git/gitdir" that contains
$ cat repo-a/.git/gitdir
.git
I don't see this file mentioned in the gitrepository-layout manpage,
and my searches haven't turned up any information on it. What's the
purpose of ".git/gitdir"? Are there cases where it will contain
something other than ".git"?
Thanks.
