Re: [PATCH v3 1/1] Fix gitdir e.g. to respect core.hooksPath

Hi Johannes,

Could you please change the commit subject to more clearly state that we 
are caching all paths. This is not something just related to hooks any 
more.

I think it would also be a good idea to mention that we are fixing 
worktree paths not being correct.

I think we should mention the source of the list of "magic" keys. A 
comment mentioning this list came from looking at the common calls to 
`gitdir` in the rest of the git-gui code would explain this function to 
a future reader better.

A call to the procedure 'git' is wrapped in a 'catch' in a lot of 
places. But it is also not wrapped in 'catch' in a lot of other places.

I'm not sure how something like this would fail, so I'm not sure if 
wrapping this call in a catch is a good idea. But it is something to 
consider.

Can these paths we cache change while git-gui is running, say by a 
command run by the user in the terminal? In that case, we should refresh 
the list when the user rescans.

Other than some minor comments, looks good. Thanks.
