2015-07-16worktree: caution that this is still experimentalLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+3

2015-07-16Documentation/git-worktree: fix stale "git checkout --to" referencesLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-2/+2
These should have been changed to "git worktree add" by fc56361 (worktree: introduce "add" command, 2015-07-06. Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-07-07worktree: add: auto-vivify new branch when <branch> is omittedLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-2/+6
As a convenience, when <branch> is omitted from "git worktree <path> <branch>" and neither -b nor -B is used, automatically create a new branch named after <path>, as if "-b $(basename <path>)" was specified. Thus, "git worktree add ../hotfix" creates a new branch named "hotfix" and associates it with new worktree "../hotfix".

2015-07-06worktree: add: make -b/-B default to HEAD when <branch> is omittedLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-0/+1
As a convenience, like "git branch" and "git checkout -b", make "git worktree add -b <newbranch> <path> <branch>" default to HEAD when <branch> is omitted. Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-07-06worktree: add -b/-B optionsLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-3/+10
One of git-worktree's roles is to populate the new worktree, much like git-checkout, and thus, for convenience, ought to support several of the same shortcuts. Toward this goal, add -b/-B options to create a new branch and check it out in the new worktree. (For brevity, only -b is mentioned in the synopsis; -B is omitted.)

2015-07-06worktree: add --detach optionLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-1/+5
One of git-worktree's roles is to populate the new worktree, much like git-checkout, and thus, for convenience, ought to support several of the same shortcuts. Toward this goal, add a --detach option to detach HEAD in the new worktree. Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-07-06worktree: add --force optionLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-1/+7
By default, "git worktree add" refuses to create a new worktree when the requested branch is already checked out elsewhere. Add a --force option to override this safeguard. Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-07-06worktree: introduce "add" commandLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-10/+10
The plan is to relocate "git checkout --to" functionality to "git worktree add". As a first step, introduce a bare-bones git-worktree "add" command along with documentation. At this stage, "git worktree add" merely invokes "git checkout --to" behind the scenes, but an upcoming patch will move the actual functionality (checkout.c:prepare_linked_checkout() and its helpers) to worktree.c.

2015-07-06Documentation/git-worktree: add high-level 'lock' overviewLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-9/+15
Due to the (current) absence of a "git worktree lock" command, locking a worktree's administrative files to prevent automatic pruning is a manual task, necessarily requiring low-level understanding of linked worktree functionality. However, this level of detail does not belong in the high-level DESCRIPTION section, so add a generalized discussion of locking to DESCRIPTION and move the technical information to DETAILS.

2015-07-06Documentation/git-worktree: split technical info from general descriptionLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-34/+36
The DESCRIPTION section should provide a high-level overview of linked worktree functionality to bring users up to speed quickly, without overloading them with low-level details, so relocate the technical information to a new DETAILS section.

2015-07-06Documentation/git-worktree: add BUGS sectionLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-3/+16
Relocate submodule warning to BUGS and enumerate missing commands. Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-07-06Documentation: move linked worktree description from checkout to worktreeLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-0/+62
Now that the git-worktree command exists, its documentation page is the natural place for the linked worktree description to reside. Relocate the "MULTIPLE WORKING TREES" description verbatim from git-checkout.txt to git-worktree.txt.

2015-07-06Documentation/git-worktree: associate options with commandsLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-3/+3
git-worktree options affect some worktree commands but not others, but this is not necessarily obvious from the option descriptions. Make this clear by indicating explicitly which commands are affected by which options. Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-06-29worktree: new place for "git prune --worktrees"Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+48
Commit 23af91d (prune: strategies for linked checkouts - 2014-11-30) adds "--worktrees" to "git prune" without realizing that "git prune" is for object database only. This patch moves the same functionality to a new command "git worktree". Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com>
