Subject: [PATCH v1 10/11] git-gui: improve worktree discovery
Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 10:33:21 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260514143322.865587-11-mlevedahl@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260514143322.865587-1-mlevedahl@gmail.com>

git gui's worktree discovery needs update based upon prior work in this
series. In the normal case, all information we need comes directly from
git rev-parse (--show-toplevel, and --show-prefix). Should this work, we
have a valid worktree and all git gui commands can run.

If not, we need to consider:
- if GIT_DIR or GIT_WORK_TREE are in the environment, just stop as we
  the input configuration was wrong, the user must fix that.
- if we have a browser or blame subcommand, no worktree is needed so
  git-gui can run without.
- using the git repository's parent is a valid worktree (if possible),
  restoring prior behavior.

The current directory should be either the root of the worktree, if one
is found, or the top-level of the git repository.

Make it so. Also, make worktree discover directly follow repository
discovery, reducing the locations that might need error trapping to
catch configuration issues.
