PATCH 1/1 sequencer, stash: fix running from worktree subdir

From: Elijah Newren <[email protected]>

In commits bc3ae46b42 ("rebase: do not attempt to remove startup_info->original_cwd", 2021-12-09) and 0fce211ccc ("stash: do not attempt to remove startup_info->original_cwd", 2021-12-09), we wanted to allow the subprocess to know which directory the parent process was running from, so that the subprocess could protect it. However...

When run from a non-main worktree, setup_git_directory() will note that the discovered git directory (/PATH/TO/.git/worktree/non-main-worktree) does not match DEFAULT_GIT_DIR_ENVIRONMENT (see setup_discovered_git_dir()), and decide to set GIT_DIR in the environment. This matters because...

Whenever git is run with the GIT_DIR environment variable set, and GIT_WORK_TREE not set, it presumes that '.' is the working tree. So...

This combination results in the subcommand being very confused about the working tree. Fix it by also setting the GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable along with setting cmd.dir.

A possibly more involved fix we could consider for later would be to make setup.c set GIT_WORK_TREE whenever (a) it discovers both the git directory and the working tree and (b) it decides to set GIT_DIR in the environment. I did not attempt that here as such would be too big of a change for a 2.35.1 release.

[2.35 regression] sequencer, stash: fix running from worktree subdir

Sorry for the regression in Git 2.35; thanks for the report Glen (and Eric for feedback on earlier patches we've been bouncing back and forth that I've incorporated here)

A possibly more involved fix we could consider for later would be to make setup.c set GIT_WORK_TREE whenever (a) it discovers both the git directory and the working tree and (b) it decides to set GIT_DIR in the environment. I did not attempt that here as such would be too big of a change for a 2.35.1 release.

As the commit message explains, GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE are closely linked, and this interaction is subtle enough that we'd want to guard against it instead of policing it manually. So, yes, setting them together makes a lot of sense.

[2.35 regression] sequencer, stash: fix running from worktree subdir

Thanks. This is the kind of fix we all should be concentrating on in the first week after the release.

Very much appreciated.

Will queue.
