The "git worktree list" shows the absolute path to the working tree,
the commit that is checked out and the name of the branch. It is not
immediately obvious which of the worktrees, if any, are locked.
"git worktree remove" refuses to remove a locked worktree with
an error message. If "git worktree list" told which worktrees
are locked in its output, the user would not even attempt to
remove such a worktree, or would realize that
"git worktree remove -f -f <path>" is required.
Teach "git worktree list" to append "locked" to its output.
The output from the command becomes like so:
$ git worktree list
/path/to/main abc123 [master]
/path/to/worktree 456def (detached HEAD)
/path/to/locked-worktree 123abc (detached HEAD) locked

"git worktree add" learns that the "-d" is a synonym to "--detach"
option to create a new worktree without being on a branch.
* es/wt-add-detach:
git-worktree.txt: discuss branch-based vs. throwaway worktrees
worktree: teach `add` to recognize -d as shorthand for --detach
git-checkout.txt: document -d short option for --detach
|
|
By default, `git worktree add` creates a new worktree associated with a
particular branch (which may have been created automatically if not
specified explicitly on the command-line). It is also convenient to
create throwaway worktrees not associated with any branch, which can be
handy when making experimental changes or doing testing. However, the
latter use-case may not be obvious to newcomers since the high-level
description of worktrees talks only about checking out "more than one
branch at a time". Therefore, enhance the description to to discuss both
use-cases.
A secondary goal of highlighting the distinction between branch-based
and throwaway worktrees is to help newcomers understand that the
simplest form `git worktree add <path>` automatically creates a new
branch. Stating this early in the description, may help newcomers avoid
creating branches without realizing they are doing so, and later
wondering why `git branch --list` shows branches the user did not
intentionally create.

Like `git switch` and `git checkout`, `git worktree add` can check out a
branch or set up a detached HEAD. However, unlike those other commands,
`git worktree add` does not understand -d as shorthand for --detach,
which may confound users accustomed to using -d for this purpose.
Address this shortcoming by teaching `add` to recognize -d for --detach,
thus bringing it in line with the other commands.

The .git/worktrees/<id>/gitdir file points at the location of a linked
worktree's .git file. Its content must be of the form
/path/to/worktree/.git (from which the location of the worktree itself
can be derived by stripping the "/.git" suffix). If the gitdir file is
deleted or becomes corrupted or outdated, then Git will be unable to
find the linked worktree. An easy way for the gitdir file to become
outdated is for the user to move the worktree manually (without using
"git worktree move"). Although it is possible to manually update the
gitdir file to reflect the new linked worktree location, doing so
requires a level of knowledge about worktree internals beyond what a
user should be expected to know offhand.
Therefore, teach "git worktree repair" how to repair broken or outdated
.git/worktrees/<id>/gitdir files automatically. (For this to work, the
command must either be invoked from within the worktree whose gitdir
file requires repair, or from within the main or any linked worktree by
providing the path of the broken worktree as an argument to "git
worktree repair".)

The .git file in a linked worktree is a "gitfile" which points back to
the .git/worktrees/<id> entry in the main worktree or bare repository.
If a worktree's .git file is deleted or becomes corrupted or outdated,
then the linked worktree won't know how to find the repository or any of
its own administrative files (such as 'index', 'HEAD', etc.). An easy
way for the .git file to become outdated is for the user to move the
main worktree or bare repository. Although it is possible to manually
update each linked worktree's .git file to reflect the new repository
location, doing so requires a level of knowledge about worktree
internals beyond what a user should be expected to know offhand.
Therefore, teach "git worktree repair" how to repair broken or outdated
worktree .git files automatically. (For this to work, the command must
be invoked from within the main worktree or bare repository, or from
within a worktree which has not become disconnected from the repository
-- such as one which was created after the repository was moved.)

Worktree administrative files can become corrupted or outdated due to
external factors. Although, it is often possible to recover from such
situations by hand-tweaking these files, doing so requires intimate
knowledge of worktree internals. While information necessary to make
such repairs manually can be obtained from git-worktree.txt and
gitrepository-layout.txt, we can assist users more directly by teaching
git-worktree how to repair its administrative files itself (at least to
some extent). Therefore, add a "git worktree repair" command which
attempts to correct common problems which may arise due to factors
beyond Git's control.
At this stage, the "repair" command is a mere skeleton; subsequent
commits will flesh out the functionality.

"git worktree add" takes special care to avoid creating a new worktree
at a location already registered to an existing worktree even if that
worktree is missing (which can happen, for instance, if the worktree
resides on removable media). "git worktree move", however, is not so
careful when validating the destination location and will happily move
the source worktree atop the location of a missing worktree. This leads
to the anomalous situation of multiple worktrees being associated with
the same path, which is expressly forbidden by design. For example:
$ 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]
$ git worktree remove ../bar
fatal: validation failed, cannot remove working tree:
'.../bar' does not point back to '.git/worktrees/bar'
Fix this shortcoming by enhancing "git worktree move" to perform the
same additional validation of the destination directory as done by "git
worktree add".
While at it, add a test to verify that "git worktree move" won't move a
worktree atop an existing (non-worktree) path -- a restriction which has
always been in place but was never tested.

One of the problems with multiple worktree is accessing per-worktree
refs of one worktree from another worktree. This was sort of solved by
multiple ref store, where the code can open the ref store of another
worktree and has access to the ref space of that worktree.
The problem with this is reporting. "HEAD" in another ref space is
also called "HEAD" like in the current ref space. In order to
differentiate them, all the code must somehow carry the ref store
around and print something like "HEAD from this ref store".
But that is not feasible (or possible with a _lot_ of work). With the
current design, we pass a reference around as a string (so called
"refname"). Extending this design to pass a string _and_ a ref store
is a nightmare, especially when handling extended SHA-1 syntax.
So we do it another way. Instead of entering a separate ref space, we
make refs from other worktrees available in the current ref space. So
"HEAD" is always HEAD of the current worktree, but then we can have
"worktrees/blah/HEAD" to denote HEAD from a worktree named
"blah". This syntax coincidentally matches the underlying directory
structure which makes implementation a bit easier.
The main worktree has to be treated specially because well... it's
special from the beginning. So HEAD from the main worktree is
acccessible via the name "main-worktree/HEAD" instead of
"worktrees/main/HEAD" because "main" could be just another secondary
worktree.
This patch also makes it possible to specify refs from one worktree in
another one, e.g.
git log worktrees/foo/HEAD

A new repo extension is added, worktreeConfig. When it is present:
- Repository config reading by default includes $GIT_DIR/config _and_
$GIT_DIR/config.worktree. "config" file remains shared in multiple
worktree setup.
- The special treatment for core.bare and core.worktree, to stay
effective only in main worktree, is gone. These config settings are
supposed to be in config.worktree.
This extension is most useful in multiple worktree setup because you
now have an option to store per-worktree config (which is either
.git/config.worktree for main worktree, or
.git/worktrees/xx/config.worktree for linked ones).
This extension can be used in single worktree mode, even though it's
pretty much useless (but this can happen after you remove all linked
worktrees and move back to single worktree).
"git config" reads from both "config" and "config.worktree" by default
(i.e. without either --user, --file...) when this extension is
present. Default writes still go to "config", not "config.worktree". A
new option --worktree is added for that (*).
Since a new repo extension is introduced, existing git binaries should
refuse to access to the repo (both from main and linked worktrees). So
they will not misread the config file (i.e. skip the config.worktree
part). They may still accidentally write to the config file anyway if
they use with "git config --file <path>".
This design places a bet on the assumption that the majority of config
variables are shared so it is the default mode. A safer move would be
default writes go to per-worktree file, so that accidental changes are
isolated.
(*) "git config --worktree" points back to "config" file when this
extension is not present and there is only one worktree so that it
works in any both single and multiple worktree setups.

When multiple worktrees are used, we need rules to determine if
something belongs to one worktree or all of them. Instead of keeping
adding rules when new stuff comes (*), have a generic rule:
- Inside $GIT_DIR, which is per-worktree by default, add
$GIT_DIR/common which is always shared. New features that want to
share stuff should put stuff under this directory.
- Inside refs/, which is shared by default except refs/bisect, add
refs/worktree/ which is per-worktree. We may eventually move
refs/bisect to this new location and remove the exception in refs
code.
(*) And it may also include stuff from external commands which will
have no way to modify common/per-worktree rules.

For safety, "git worktree add <path>" will refuse to add a new
worktree at <path> if <path> is already associated with a worktree
entry, even if <path> is missing (for instance, has been deleted or
resides on non-mounted removable media or network share). The typical
way to re-create a worktree at <path> in such a situation is either to
prune all "broken" entries ("git worktree prune") or to selectively
remove the worktree entry manually ("git worktree remove <path>").
However, neither of these approaches ("prune" nor "remove") is
especially convenient, and they may be unsuitable for scripting when a
tool merely wants to re-use a worktree if it exists or create it from
scratch if it doesn't (much as a tool might use "mkdir -p" to re-use
or create a directory).
Therefore, teach 'add' to respect --force as a convenient way to
re-use a path already associated with a worktree entry if the path is
non-existent. For a locked worktree, require --force to be specified
twice.

Introduce a checkout.defaultRemote setting which can be used to
designate a remote to prefer (via checkout.defaultRemote=origin) when
running e.g. "git checkout master" to mean origin/master, even though
there's other remotes that have the "master" branch.
I want this because it's very handy to use this workflow to checkout a
repository and create a topic branch, then get back to a "master" as
retrieved from upstream:
(
cd /tmp &&
rm -rf tbdiff &&
git clone git@github.com:trast/tbdiff.git &&
cd tbdiff &&
git branch -m topic &&
git checkout master
)
That will output:
Branch 'master' set up to track remote branch 'master' from 'origin'.
Switched to a new branch 'master'
But as soon as a new remote is added (e.g. just to inspect something
from someone else) the DWIMery goes away:
(
cd /tmp &&
rm -rf tbdiff &&
git clone git@github.com:trast/tbdiff.git &&
cd tbdiff &&
git branch -m topic &&
git remote add avar git@github.com:avar/tbdiff.git &&
git fetch avar &&
git checkout master
)
Will output (without the advice output added earlier in this series):
error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git.
The new checkout.defaultRemote config allows me to say that whenever
that ambiguity comes up I'd like to prefer "origin", and it'll still
work as though the only remote I had was "origin".
Also adjust the advice.checkoutAmbiguousRemoteBranchName message to
mention this new config setting to the user, the full output on my
git.git is now (the last paragraph is new):
$ ./git --exec-path=$PWD checkout master
error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git.
hint: 'master' matched more than one remote tracking branch.
hint: We found 26 remotes with a reference that matched. So we fell back
hint: on trying to resolve the argument as a path, but failed there too!
hint:
hint: If you meant to check out a remote tracking branch on, e.g. 'origin',
hint: you can do so by fully qualifying the name with the --track option:
hint:
hint: git checkout --track origin/<name>
hint:
hint: If you'd like to always have checkouts of an ambiguous <name> prefer
hint: one remote, e.g. the 'origin' remote, consider setting
hint: checkout.defaultRemote=origin in your config.
I considered splitting this into checkout.defaultRemote and
worktree.defaultRemote, but it's probably less confusing to break our
own rules that anything shared between config should live in core.*
than have two config settings, and I couldn't come up with a short
name under core.* that made sense (core.defaultRemoteForCheckout?).

Currently 'git worktree add <path>' creates a new branch named after the
basename of the path by default. If a branch with that name already
exists, the command refuses to do anything, unless the '--force' option
is given.
However we can do a little better than that, and check the branch out if
it is not checked out anywhere else. This will help users who just want
to check an existing branch out into a new worktree, and save a few
keystrokes.
As the current behaviour is to simply 'die()' when a branch with the name
of the basename of the path already exists, there are no backwards
compatibility worries here.
We will still 'die()' if the branch is checked out in another worktree,
unless the --force flag is passed.

This command allows to delete a worktree. Like 'move' you cannot
remove the main worktree, or one with submodules inside [1].
For deleting $GIT_WORK_TREE, Untracked files or any staged entries are
considered precious and therefore prevent removal by default. Ignored
files are not precious.
When it comes to deleting $GIT_DIR, there's no "clean" check because
there should not be any valuable data in there, except:
- HEAD reflog. There is nothing we can do about this until somebody
steps up and implements the ref graveyard.
- Detached HEAD. Technically it can still be recovered. Although it
may be nice to warn about orphan commits like 'git checkout' does.
[1] We do 'git status' with --ignore-submodules=all for safety
anyway. But this needs a closer look by submodule people before we
can allow deletion. For example, if a submodule is totally clean,
but its repo not absorbed to the main .git dir, then deleting
worktree also deletes the valuable .submodule repo too.

- convert the main worktree to a linked one and move it away, leave
the git repository where it is. The repo essentially becomes bare
after this move.
- move the repository with the main worktree. The tricky part is make
sure all file descriptors to the repository are closed, or it may
fail on Windows.

Some users might want to have the --guess-remote option introduced in
the previous commit on by default, so they don't have to type it out
every time they create a new worktree.
Add a config option worktree.guessRemote that allows users to configure
the default behaviour for themselves.

Currently 'git worktree add <path>' creates a new branch named after the
basename of the <path>, that matches the HEAD of whichever worktree we
were on when calling "git worktree add <path>".
It's sometimes useful to have 'git worktree add <path> behave more like
the dwim machinery in 'git checkout <new-branch>', i.e. check if the new
branch name, derived from the basename of the <path>, uniquely matches
the branch name of a remote-tracking branch, and if so check out that
branch and set the upstream to the remote-tracking branch.
Add a new --guess-remote option that enables exactly that behaviour.

Currently 'git worktree add <path> <branch>', errors out when 'branch'
is not a local branch. It has no additional dwim'ing features that one
might expect.
Make it behave more like 'git checkout <branch>' when the branch doesn't
exist locally, but a remote tracking branch uniquely matches the desired
branch name, i.e. create a new branch from the remote tracking branch
and set the upstream to the remote tracking branch.
As 'git worktree add' currently just dies in this situation, there are
no backwards compatibility worries when introducing this feature.

Currently 'git worktree add' sets up tracking branches if '<branch>' is
a remote tracking branch, and doesn't set them up otherwise, as is the
default for 'git branch'.
This may or may not be what the user wants. Allow overriding this
behaviour with a --[no-]track flag that gets passed through to 'git
branch'.
We already respect branch.autoSetupMerge, as 'git worktree' just calls
'git branch' internally.

Currently 'git worktree add' is documented to take an optional <branch>
argument, which is checked out in the new worktree. However it is more
generally possible to use a commit-ish as the optional argument, and
check that out into the new worktree.
Document that this is a possibility, as new users of git worktree add
might find it helpful.

As explained in the document. This option has an advantage over the
command sequence "git worktree add && git worktree lock": there will be
no gap that somebody can accidentally "prune" the new worktree (or soon,
explicitly "worktree remove" it).
"worktree add" does keep a lock on while it's preparing the worktree.
If --lock is specified, this lock remains after the worktree is created.

Documentation: correctly spell git worktree --detach

The option is “--detach”, but we accidentally spelled it “--detached” at
one point in the man page.
