git_path is a convenience function that usually produces a string $GIT_DIR/<path>. Since v2.5.0-rc0~143^2~35 (git_path(): be aware of file relocation in $GIT_DIR, 2014-11-30), as a side benefit callers get support for path relocation variables like $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY: - git_path("index") is $GIT_INDEX_FILE when set - git_path("info/grafts") is $GIT_GRAFTS_FILE when set - git_path("objects/<foo>") is $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/<foo> when set - git_path("hooks/<foo>") is <foo> under core.hookspath when set - git_path("refs/<foo>") etc (see path.c::common_list) is relative to $GIT_COMMON_DIR instead of $GIT_DIR worktree_git_path, by comparison, is designed to resolve files in a specific worktree's git dir. Unfortunately, it shares code with git_path and performs the same relocation. The result is that paths that are meant to be relative to the specified worktree's git dir end up replaced by paths from environment variables within the current git dir. Luckily, no current callers pass such arguments. The relocation was noticed when testing the result of merging two patches under review, one of which introduces a caller: * The first patch made git prune check the index file in each worktree's git dir (using worktree_git_path(wt, "index")) for objects not to prune. This would trigger the unwanted relocation when GIT_INDEX_FILE is set, causing objects reachable from the index to be pruned. * The second patch simplified the relocation logic for index, info/grafts, objects, and hooks to happen unconditionally instead of based on whether environment or configuration variables are set. This caused the relocation to trigger even when GIT_INDEX_FILE is not set.
