From 2696c5c3ece1a28c545d6e59b0d121480e9f977d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick Steinhardt Date: Fri, 19 May 2017 09:21:17 +0200 Subject: repository: make check if repo is a worktree more strict To determine if a repository is a worktree or not, we currently check for the existence of a "gitdir" file inside of the repository's gitdir. While this is sufficient for non-broken repositories, we have at least one case of a subtly broken repository where there exists a gitdir file inside of a gitmodule. This will cause us to misidentify the submodule as a worktree. While this is not really a fault of ours, we can do better here by observing that a repository can only ever be a worktree iff its common directory and dotgit directory are different. This allows us to make our check whether a repo is a worktree or not more strict by doing a simple string comparison of these two directories. This will also allow us to do the right thing in the above case of a broken repository, as for submodules these directories will be the same. At the same time, this allows us to skip the `stat` check for the "gitdir" file for most repositories. --- src/repository.c | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) (limited to 'src') diff --git a/src/repository.c b/src/repository.c index fec476396..18c6eed76 100644 --- a/src/repository.c +++ b/src/repository.c @@ -763,6 +763,13 @@ static int repo_is_worktree(unsigned *out, const git_repository *repo) git_buf gitdir_link = GIT_BUF_INIT; int error; + /* Worktrees cannot have the same commondir and gitdir */ + if (repo->commondir && repo->gitdir + && !strcmp(repo->commondir, repo->gitdir)) { + *out = 0; + return 0; + } + if ((error = git_buf_joinpath(&gitdir_link, repo->gitdir, "gitdir")) < 0) return -1; -- cgit v1.2.1
