Subject: Should 'git status' understand a .git containing "gitdir: dir"?
Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2011 02:04:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E0C3C1D.1050406@nextest.com> (raw)
The following sequence sets up a trivial repo that uses "gitdir:":
$ git init gitdir-test
$ cd gitdir-test
$ mv .git real-git-dir
$ echo "gitdir: real-git-dir" > .git
$ git status
Fine so far. But git-status shows that "real-git-dir" is untracked:
$ git status -sb
## Initial commit on master
?? real-git-dir/
Which strikes one as a bit inconsistent (since other pars of git-status
knows to look in real-git-dir to find the index).
Sorry - no time to investigate.
