Subject: [PATCH] t7300-clean: demonstrate deleting nested repo with an ignored file breakage
Date: Sun, 25 Aug 2019 20:59:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190825185918.3909-1-szeder.dev@gmail.com> (raw)
'git clean -fd' must not delete an untracked directory if it belongs
to a different Git repository or worktree. Unfortunately, if a
'.gitignore' rule in the outer repository happens to match a file in a
nested repository or worktree, then something goes awry and 'git clean
-fd' does delete the content of the nested repository's worktree
except that ignored file, potentially leading to data loss.
Add a test to 't7300-clean.sh' to demonstrate this breakage.
This issue is a regression introduced in 6b1db43109 (clean: teach
clean -d to preserve ignored paths, 2017-05-23).

BEWARE: Our toplevel '.gitignore' currently contains the '*.manifest'
rule [1], which ignores the file 'compat/win32/git.manifest' [2], so
if you use nested worktrees in your git repo, then a 'git clean -fd'
will delete them.

Studio, 2019-07-29)

Right Thing, 2019-06-27)
