set_work_tree: use chdir_notify
When we change to the top of the working tree, we manually re-adjust $GIT_DIR and call set_git_dir() again, in order to update any relative git-dir we'd compute earlier. Instead of the work-tree code having to know to call the git-dir code, let's use the new chdir_notify interface. There are two spots that need updating, with a few subtleties in each: 1. the set_git_dir() code needs to chdir_notify_register() so it can be told when to update its path. Technically we could push this down into repo_set_gitdir(), so that even repository structs besides the_repository could benefit from this. But that opens up a lot of complications: - we'd still need to touch set_git_dir(), because it does some other setup (like setting $GIT_DIR in the environment) - submodules using other repository structs get cleaned up, which means we'd need to remove them from the chdir_notify list - it's unlikely to fix any bugs, since we shouldn't generally chdir() in the middle of working on a submodule 2. setup_work_tree now needs to call chdir_notify(), and can lose its manual set_git_dir() call. Note that at first glance it looks like this undoes the absolute-to-relative optimization added by 044bbbcb63 (Make git_dir a path relative to work_tree in setup_work_tree(), 2008-06-19). But for the most part that optimization was just _undoing_ the relative-to-absolute conversion which the function was doing earlier (and which is now gone). It is true that if you already have an absolute git_dir that the setup_work_tree() function will no longer make it relative as a side effect. But: - we generally do have relative git-dir's due to the way the discovery code works - if we really care about making git-dir's relative when possible, then we should be relativizing them earlier (e.g., when we see an absolute $GIT_DIR we could turn it relative, whether we are going to chdir into a worktree or not). That would cover all cases, including ones that 044bbbcb63 did not. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
