I should add that I only recently discovered "git clone
--separate-git-dir", which I at first though was a formal expression
of this setup... until I understood that the relationship between the
"GITDIR" and the worktree that you end up with is not "Bare repo vs
worktree", but rather... "orphaned repo / repo that doesn't know about
its worktree, vs worktree".
It seems, to me, that "my setup" makes a lot more sense than what you
end up with when you use "--separate-git-dir", and that the behavior
there predates the current "mutual reference" model of
worktrees-to-their-repo. If "my" use of "core.bare" in the example
above is sound - then should the implementation of
"--separate-git-dir" be changed to produce a bare repo with a
"worktrees" folder, like you get if you clone bare and add a worktree
in two separate steps?
(I say "change the implementation", but I guess I really mean
introducing a new option for the new behavior, and deprecate the old
option)
Dscho, I assume you would have the strongest opinion about this?
