Subject: Able to checkout same branch in multiple worktrees when using symbolic-refs
Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2022 19:05:56 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAAir=1MbwGtONW7yWRWoXKzAiwqwhOAqdhfWYMYLxt1vANuUOA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
When using a symbolic-ref I am able to inadvertently checkout the same
branch in multiple worktrees when using the symbolic-ref name, despite
being prevented from doing so if I use the target branch name.
Below is a minimal reproducer:
$ git --version
git version 2.36.0
$ git init .
$ git status
$ git commit --allow-empty -m "Initial commit"
$ git symbolic-ref refs/heads/main refs/heads/master
$ git worktree add ../worktree2
$ git worktree list
/home/amorton/test/worktree1 cd8312d [master]
/home/amorton/test/worktree2 cd8312d [worktree2]
$ cd ../worktree2
$ git checkout master
fatal: 'master' is already checked out at '/home/amorton/test/worktree1'
$ git checkout main
Switched to branch 'main'
$ git worktree list
/home/amorton/test/worktree1 cd8312d [master]
/home/amorton/test/worktree2 cd8312d [master]
