Many commands either silently avoid removing directories that are not empty (i.e. those that have untracked or modified files in them)[1], or show an error and abort, depending on which is more appropriate for the command in question. With this series, we augment the reasons to avoid removing directories to include not just has-untracked-or-modified-files, but also to avoid removing the original_cwd as well. Peff and Junio provided some good pros/cons, if it helps: * Pros: Peff (original suggester of the idea)[2], and Junio[3] * Cons: Peff [2, again -- see the "P.S."], and Junio[4] [1] well, with a few exceptions; see https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1036.v3.git.1632760428.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/git/YS8eEtwQvF7TaLCb@coredump.intra.peff.net/ [3] https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqo86elyht.fsf@gitster.g/ [4] https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqo8691gr8.fsf@gitster.g/ Changes since v4: * actually fix bashism Changes since v3: * fixed one codepath from v2 so that the series really is only about the working tree * used test-tool getcwd instead of pwd -P as suggested by Ævar for some less common platforms * fixed bashism * check for clean index/worktree after verifying that expected-to-abort codepaths do abort, to make it clearer that we expect an early abort * remove a leftover (and confusing) is_absolute_dir() check in sequencer and stash from an earlier round of the series Changes since v2: * the series is now only about the working tree. So if the original cwd is outside the worktree (or we're in a bare repo), then the new code is a no-op. * fixed ugly early die() possibility (uses strbuf_getcwd() instead of xgetcwd()) * modified the initial tests to show both expected and desired behavior. subsequent patches fix the tests. One new patch added at the end which simplifies the tests to only check for desired behavior. * NULLify startup_info->original_cwd when it matches the toplevel worktree; that is already protected and we don't need secondary protection for it. This simplified some other codepaths so we don't have to check for startup_info->original_cwd == "". * clarified some commit messages Changes since v1: * clarified multiple commit messages * renamed the_cwd to startup_info->original_cwd to make it clearer that it's our parent process'es cwd that really matters, which we inherited at program startup. Also pulls it out of the global namespace. * Normalize the path for startup_info->original_cwd, and ensure that it's actually the original cwd even if -C is passed to git. * small code cleanups suggested by René and Ævar * split the final patch (which got the most comments) into two -- one for each function being modified. Also, add a bunch more history to the first of the two resulting commit messages * no longer has a content conflict with so/stash-staged * add another value for the flags parameter that remove_dir_recursively() takes so that it can opt into either the old or the new behavior. Use that for the one special corner case I could find where it matters, and add a few tests around it to highlight the utility of the flag.
