The `path` out-parameter of `find_repo` is being sanitized initially such that we do not try to append to existing content. The sanitization is done via `git_buf_free`, though, which forces us to needlessly reallocate the buffer later in the function. Fix this by using `git_buf_clear` instead.
The out-parameters of `find_repo` containing found paths of a repository are a tad confusing, as they are not as obvious as they could be. Rename them like following to ease reading the code: - `repo_path` -> `gitdir_path` - `parent_path` -> `workdir_path` - `link_path` -> `gitlink_path` - `common_path` -> `commondir_path`
The check whether a repository is a worktree or not is currently done inside of `git_repository_open_ext`. As we want to extend this function later on, pull it out into its own function `repo_is_worktree` to ease working on it.
To determine if a repository is a worktree or not, we currently check for the existence of a "gitdir" file inside of the repository's gitdir. While this is sufficient for non-broken repositories, we have at least one case of a subtly broken repository where there exists a gitdir file inside of a gitmodule. This will cause us to misidentify the submodule as a worktree. While this is not really a fault of ours, we can do better here by observing that a repository can only ever be a worktree iff its common directory and dotgit directory are different. This allows us to make our check whether a repo is a worktree or not more strict by doing a simple string comparison of these two directories. This will also allow us to do the right thing in the above case of a broken repository, as for submodules these directories will be the same. At the same time, this allows us to skip the `stat` check for the "gitdir" file for most repositories.

I consider this PR ready to be merged now. It fixes the broken case of #4242 by making our checks whether a repository is a workdir or not more strict. |
