You have a symlink into a subdirectory of the repository. Git correctly finds the repository's .git directory, but then when we attempt to 'cd' to the top-level of the working tree, we end up outside of the repository. The culprit is actually "git rev-parse --show-cdup". This demonstrates it more simply: mkdir repo && (cd repo && git init) && mkdir repo/dir && ln -s repo/dir linked && cd linked && git rev-parse --show-cdup which prints "../". But that's not right; we actually need to go to "../repo". I think the right solution in this situation is that we should _not_ be setting is_inside_work_tree in setup_git_directory_gently, so that we chdir to its absolute path. But I don't think we ever actually detect the symlink during this setup, so I'm not sure how best to realize we are _in_ this situation. -Peff -- 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
