'a' and 'b' sound very naive to me. Maybe change these to something more like: 'firstwt' and 'secondwt'? Yeah even this sounds kiddish but you get the idea right? Or like 'wt' and 'wt_dup'? > diff --git a/t/t2401-worktree-prune.sh b/t/t2401-worktree-prune.sh > index b7d6d5d45a..fd3916fee0 100755 > --- a/t/t2401-worktree-prune.sh > +++ b/t/t2401-worktree-prune.sh > @@ -92,4 +92,16 @@ test_expect_success 'not prune proper checkouts' ' > test -d .git/worktrees/nop > > > +test_expect_success 'prune duplicate (linked/linked)' ' > + test_when_finished rm -fr .git/worktrees w1 w2 && Nit: maybe make it 'rm -rf' as that's the popular way of doing it? Otherwise this looks good to me. But again, we need comments from others too. Nicely done! :)
