I do not think "git clone" called from there will leave anything in the resulting repository that depends on the --separate-git-dir=<dir> being relative or absolute, so this change should not cause us new problems. By the way, this line is the last use of sm_gitdir_rel before it gets freed. I wonder sm_gitdir = absolute_path(sb.buf); would be sufficient. We can lose the variable, and free() on it at the end of this function, and an extra allocation if we can do so. > + if (!is_absolute_path(path)) { > + strbuf_addf(&sb, "%s/%s", get_git_work_tree(), path); > + path = strbuf_detach(&sb, 0); > + } else > + path = xstrdup(path); > > if (!file_exists(sm_gitdir)) { > if (safe_create_leading_directories_const(sm_gitdir) < 0) Other than that, looks good to me.
