rr_cache_dir function cannot assume REPO/.git is a directory. On the other
side it should be backward compatible - if rr-cache directory/link already
exists it should be returned.

Hi,

I am not sure of the purpose of rr-cache symbolic link, dim does not use
it (except its creation/removal). So this patch should be verified by
someone who knows better what is going on here.

Regards
Andrzej

I think this breaks it, rr-cache is shared among all worktrees (which is a
big reason for having them).

And yes dim only sets up the symlink, dim rebuild-tip uses the rr-cache
stuff automatically through git merge.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for reviewing other two patches.

If drm-tip and $DIM_REPO are worktrees (more exactly "linked working
tree" - ie .git is a file), then rr_cache_dir will return invalid path.

As a result update_rerere_cache will fail create symlink, with this kind
of error:

    ln: failed to create symbolic link '/lab/dim/drm-misc-next/.git':
File exists

I still do not see who and when is using (ie. reading) this link.
rebuild_tip seems to use only $DIM_PREFIX/drm_rerere/rr-cache. Is there
some magic inside git itself, or I am just blind?

Andrzej

Ah, now I get it, your $DIM_REPO is also a worktree. Yes that's not
supported with the current code.

But your code doesn't fix it. We do _not_ want $(git_dir)/rr-cache here,
but really the .git/rr-cache of the master repo. The worktrees do not have
their own private rr-cache, but use the one of the master repo.

git merge --rerere-autoupdate uses it internally. We want that drm-tip
uses the rr-cache we store in drm-rerere/rr-cache.

Maybe $(git_dir drm-tip)/../../rr-cache works? Again, the important part
is that we edit the .git/rr-cache in your master repo, not in any of the
worktrees (rr-cache doesn't exist there).

I think the proper way of finding rr-cache would be:


function rr_cache_dir
{
	echo $(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)/rr-cache
}


If you are OK with it I can prepare patch. In fact since the function is
used only in update_rerere_cache, it could be squashed there:

function update_rerere_cache
{
        echo -n "Updating rerere cache... "
        pull_rerere_cache

        local rr_cache_dir=$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)/rr-cache

        ...

}


Is this approach OK?

Andrzej

Indeed. Also just noticed that rev-parse also has a --git-dir option.
Care to also change git_dir() to use that?
