[PATCH 2/3] worktree: add utility to find worktree by pathname

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



find_worktree() employs heuristics to match user provided input -- which
may be a pathname or some sort of shorthand -- with an actual worktree.
Although this convenience allows a user to identify a worktree with
minimal typing, the black-box nature of these heuristics makes it
potentially difficult for callers which already know the exact path of a
worktree to be confident that the correct worktree will be returned for
any specific pathname (particularly a relative one), especially as the
heuristics are enhanced and updated.

Therefore, add a companion function, find_worktree_by_path(), which
deterministically identifies a worktree strictly by pathname with no
interpretation and no magic matching.
