[v3,0/2] Handle git_path() with lock files correctly in worktrees

Message

Linus Arver via GitGitGadget Oct. 21, 2019, 9:54 p.m. UTC

I stumbled over this during my recent work in Git GUI
[https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/361] that was originally really
only intended to use the correct hooks directory.

It turns out that my fears that index.lock was mishandled were unfounded,
hence this patch series has a lot lower priority for me than "OMG we must
push this into v2.24.0!".

Technically, the first patch is not needed (because I decided against adding
a test to t1400 in the end, in favor of t1500), but it shouldn't hurt,
either.

Changes since v2:

 * Adjusted the commit message to really not talk about index.lock.
 * Instead of modifying the code inside trie_find() to special-case .lock, I
   now copy the string without the suffix .lock (if any) before handing it
   off to trie_find().

Changes since v1:

 * Clarified the commit message to state that index.lock is fine, it is 
   logs/HEAD.lock that isn't.
