core.worktree

[Keepun]

core.worktree sets the path to the --git-dir :(

In 1.9.2-preview20140411 setting works, but the files will not open.

git gui:

couldn't open ".git/HEAD": no such file or directory
couldn't open ".git/HEAD": no such file or directory
    while executing
"open [gitdir HEAD] r"
    (procedure "load_current_branch" line 4)
    invoked from within
"load_current_branch"
    (procedure "repository_state" line 7)
    invoked from within
"repository_state newType newHEAD newMERGE_HEAD"
    (procedure "rescan" line 9)
    invoked from within
"rescan ui_ready"
    (procedure "do_rescan" line 2)
    invoked from within
"do_rescan"
    ("after" script)

It does not seem like this is a Window-specific problem, or is it, @Keepun?

Window-specific

[Keepun]

But the problem is probably in "git gui".
"git status" shows a list of files.

Thanks-clarify

Bug in Git\libexec\git-core\git-gui.tcl:

1266: set _gitdir [git rev-parse --git-dir]
_gitdir = .git
1335: if {[catch {cd $_gitworktree} err]} {
Change PWD. But _gitdir is not an absolute path, and it depends on the PWD.

And bug in:

1278: if {$_gitdir eq "."} {
1279:   set _gitdir [pwd]
1280: }

GIT_DIR=. git gui

Atlassian SourceTree and GitExtensions can not work with core.worktree

Temporary fix for Git GUI:

git config --global alias.ngui '!git --git-dir=`pwd`/.git gui'
git ngui

@Keepun I missed that you updated your very terse explanation. So now it looks as if your problem might be solved by extending

if {$_gitdir eq "."} {
   set _gitdir [pwd]
}

to

if {$_gitdir eq "."} {
   set _gitdir [pwd]
} elseif ($_gitdir eq .git) {
   set _gitdir [pwd]/.git
}

If that fixes your problem, please report back and I will integrate the patch into Git for Windows 2.x.
