One thing which hasn't been explained, and about which I'm still confused even after reading this thread in its entirety, is what Barret means when he says that he "breaks" his worktrees. What is the nature of this breakage? Depending upon that answer, would "git rev-parse --git-dir" be sufficient for your needs? Or, would "git worktree list" be able to give you the desired information? (As envisioned, "git worktree list" was intended to provide much more information than it currently does, such as the .git/worktree dir name, and such an enhancement might be welcome.) -- 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
