Judging from the occasional "I tried core.worktree but it does not work in this and that situations" I see here and on #git, my impression is that new people try it, saying "git is cool -- unlike cvs that sprinkles those ugly CVS directories all over the place, it only contaminates my work tree with a single directory '.git' and nothing else. Ah, wait --- what's this core.worktree thing? Can I get rid of that last one as well? That sounds even cooler". IOW, I do not think it is really _needed_ per-se as a feature, but it was done because it was thought to be doable, which unfortunately turned out to involve hair-pulling complexity that the two attempts that led to the current code still haven't resolved. I really wish we do not have to worry about that anymore. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
