When we open a repository with the "Directory" option, we use "rev-parse --git-dir" to get the path relative to that directory, and then use Cwd::abs_path() to make it absolute (since our process working directory may not be the same). These days we can just ask for "--absolute-git-dir" instead, which saves us a little code. That option was added in Git v2.13.0 via a2f5a87626 (rev-parse: add '--absolute-git-dir' option, 2017-02-03). I don't think we make any promises about running mismatched versions of git and Git.pm, but even if somebody tries it, that's sufficiently old that it should be OK. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> --- I retained the "require Cwd" here since we use it in the conditional (but moved it closer to the point of use). It's not strictly necessary, as earlier code will have required it as a side effect, but it's probably best not to rely on that. perl/Git.pm | 10 +++++----- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/perl/Git.pm b/perl/Git.pm index cf1ef0b32a..667152c6c6 100644 --- a/perl/Git.pm +++ b/perl/Git.pm @@ -187,7 +187,7 @@ sub repository { try { # Note that "--is-bare-repository" must come first, as # --git-dir output could contain newlines. - $out = $search->command([qw(rev-parse --is-bare-repository --git-dir)], + $out = $search->command([qw(rev-parse --is-bare-repository --absolute-git-dir)], STDERR => 0); } catch Git::Error::Command with { throw Error::Simple("fatal: not a git repository: $opts{Directory}"); @@ -196,12 +196,12 @@ sub repository { chomp $out; my ($bare, $dir) = split /\n/, $out, 2; - require Cwd; - require File::Spec; - File::Spec->file_name_is_absolute($dir) or $dir = $opts{Directory} .
