# Differences from Git
In some instances, the functionality of libgit2 deviates slightly from Git. This can be because of technical limitations when developing a library, licensing limitations when converting functionality from Git to libgit2, or various other reasons.
Repository and Workdir Path Reporting
-------------------------------------
When asking Git for the absolute path of a repository via `git rev-parse --absolute-git-dir`, it will output the path to the ".git" folder without a trailing slash. In contrast to that, the call `git_repository_path(repo)` will return the path with a trailing slash:
```
git rev-parse --absolute-git-dir -> /home/user/projects/libgit2/.git
git_repository_path(repo) -> /home/user/projects/libgit2/.git/
```
The same difference exists when listing worktrees:
```
git worktree list -> /home/user/projects/libgit2
git_repository_workdir(repo) -> /home/user/projects/libgit2/
```
