Subject: worktree add already exists
Date: Mon, 27 May 2019 17:32:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ad2ff81a-d75e-1ac4-07d0-c807a2ed9e36@gmx.de> (raw)


x@y MINGW64 ~/gittest
$ ls
bare/  barework/

x@y MINGW64 ~/gittest
$ ls -a barework
./  ../  test.txt

x@y MINGW64 ~/gittest
$ git -C bare branch
* master

x@y MINGW64 ~/gittest
$ git -C bare worktree add --no-checkout ../barework
Preparing worktree (new branch 'barework')
fatal: '../barework' already exists

x@y MINGW64 ~/gittest
$ git -C bare branch
   barework
* master

Why this doesn't just work and if not why is barework branch made then,
why at all ?

I would like to attach an existing dir to git (make it a workdir) and
then update the index with git reset and checkin the differences.

I can do that tricking around with a little dir renaming, new empty dir,
move the .git file and rename back...
