Subject: [PATCH v2 02/11] git-gui: return status from choose_repository::pick
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 16:24:01 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260520202411.108764-3-mlevedahl@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260520202411.108764-1-mlevedahl@gmail.com>
The repository picker (choose_repository::pick) on success always
returns with the current directory at the root of the selected worktree,
and with the global variable _gitdir holding the name of the git
repository, possibly as a relative path. On failure, _gitdir = {}. If
the selection was from the "recent" list, no validation has occurred.
There are too many side effects in this interface. Note that the picker
only supports worktrees with a .git entry in the worktree root, so git
repository and worktree discovery will work starting in the current
directory on return. So, let's change pick to return a 0/1 value, 1
meaning a worktreee + repo was selected and the current directory is the
worktree root, and leave validation and setting of _gitdir,
_gitworktree, and _prefix to the caller. Note: pick actually does not
return if something was not selected, rather it terminates git-gui.
But, let's pretend at the call site that pick returns 0/false instead.
