Subject: [RESEND PATCH v10 0/8] worktree: Support `--orphan` when creating new worktrees
Date: Wed, 17 May 2023 21:47:30 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230517214711.12467-1-jacobabel@nullpo.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230417093255.31079-1-jacobabel@nullpo.dev>

This patchset introduces the ability to create new worktrees from orphan/unborn
branches and introduces DWIM behavior to create worktrees from an orphan branch
when no valid refs exists locally in the repository (as is typical in newly
initialized repositories) or on a remote (when `--guess-remote` is used). 

This addresses the issue of `git worktree add` failing when attempting to create
a worktree from a newly initialized repository (which can be seen in this SO
question [1]).

NOTE: Resend of Patch v10 as my mail setup tampered with and broke the patchset. 
original v10 cover: <20230507120530.14669-1-jacobabel@nullpo.dev>

This patchset has eight parts:
  * adding `-B` to the usage docs (noticed during dev and it seemed too small
    to justify a separate submission)
  * cleaning up a left-behind worktree in t2400
  * adding a helper fn to simplify testing for mutual exclusion of options
    in `t/t2400-worktree-add.sh`
  * adding additional test cases to verify both that behavior doesn't change
    when using `--quiet` and that the extraneous output is properly suppressed.
  * adding the ability to create a worktree from an unborn/orphan branch
    to `git-worktree-add`
  * adding an advise for using --orphan when `git worktree add` fails due to 
    a bad ref.
  * adding functionality to DWIM when there are no existing branches and the
    user likely intends to create an orphan branch.
  * updating worktree add to emit a warning (containing debug information 
    about the current HEAD) when trying to use a HEAD that points to a
    non-existant (or unborn) reference and there exist other valid branches.

Changes from v9:
  * Revert `test_when_finished cat actual` changes in t2400 (2/8)[2].
  * Rename commit 2/8 to reflect changes.
  * Revert `test_when_finished cat actual` changes in t2400 (3/8)[3].
  * Revert `test_when_finished cat actual` changes in t2400 (4/8)[4].
  * Revert `test_when_finished cat actual` changes in t2400 (5/8).
  * Remove extraneous whitespace from command in t2400 (5/8).
  * Revert `test_when_finished cat actual` changes in t2400 (6/8).
  * Include `advice.h` in `worktree.c` to resolve missing include when 
    applying patch on top of main (6/8).
  * Revert `test_when_finished cat actual` changes in t2400 (7/8).
  * Remove extraneous whitespace from comment in `worktree.c` (7/8).

    -    t2400: print captured git output when finished
    -
    -    Update tests that capture stderr so that at the end of the test they
    -    print the captured text back out to stderr. This simplifies debugging
    -    when inspecting test logs after executing with `-x`.
