Yes, path basename makes sense. I am asking this question because we have some legacy code requires that working tree called something like 'src', as a result, multiple branch would have src1 src2 src3 under .git/worktrees which could not be easy to maintain. I agreed with you, we should give users such option. 2016-03-25 19:41 GMT+08:00 Duy Nguyen <pclouds@xxxxxxxxx>: > On Fri, Mar 25, 2016 at 6:31 PM, Zhang Lei <zhanglei002@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> By the way, Duy, another unrelated question: why worktree name under >> .git/worktrees is being named >> after the working tree path basename?
