Hi,
More or less by error I used the fsck command in a worktree and I had
the surprised to see that it reported a lot of dangling commits while it was
not supposed to have one.
I quickly realized that it was the case only in the worktree, in the main dir
things were OK. While experimenting a bit I also saw that git gc had not the
same effect in a worktree than in the main tree (the pack was smaller, more
files were left in objects/xx/ dirs), which is even more odd and a bit
scary when thinking to the pruning.
This seems like a bug to me and googling about it didn't returned anything.

It's a known issue that gc (and maybe some others that do rev-list
--all, like fsck) "forgets" about some worktree's refs and you will
see what you see. Work on it was postponed because the "refs"
subsystem was being refactored. I think I'm resuming it soon.
