worktree: prune duplicate entries referencing same worktree path
A fundamental restriction of linked working trees is that there must only ever be a single worktree associated with a particular path, thus "git worktree add" explicitly disallows creation of a new worktree at the same location as an existing registered worktree. Nevertheless, users can still "shoot themselves in the foot" by mucking with administrative files in .git/worktree/<id>/. Worse, "git worktree move" is careless[1] and allows a worktree to be moved atop a registered but missing worktree (which can happen, for instance, if the worktree is on removable media). For instance: $ git clone foo.git $ cd foo $ git worktree add ../bar $ git worktree add ../baz $ rm -rf ../bar $ git worktree move ../baz ../bar $ git worktree list .../foo beefd00f [master] .../bar beefd00f [bar] .../bar beefd00f [baz] Help users recover from this form of corruption by teaching "git worktree prune" to detect when multiple worktrees are associated with the same path. [1]: A subsequent commit will fix "git worktree move" validation to be more strict. Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
