Subject: [PATCH] difftool: support repositories with .git-files
Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2014 19:12:35 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1393211555-50270-1-git-send-email-davvid@gmail.com> (raw)
Modern versions of "git submodule" use .git-files to setup the
submodule directory. When run in a "git submodule"-created
repository "git difftool --dir-diff" dies with the following
error:
$ git difftool -d HEAD~
fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree
diff --raw --no-abbrev -z HEAD~: command returned error: 128
core.worktree is relative to the .git directory but the logic
in find_worktree() does not account for it.
Use `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` to find the worktree so that
the dir-diff feature works inside a submodule.
