[Question] worktree vs. gitdir in [includeIf]

[Question] worktree vs. gitdir in [includeIf]

[Randall S. Becker]

Hi Git Team,

I am wondering whether there is, or are plans for, something analogous to [includeIf "worktree:path"] with a similar semantic to
[includeIf "gitdir:path"]. 

Thanks,
Randall

I do not think there currently is an implementation, nor a plan, but
I offhand do not see downsides in a feature to let you conditionally
enable some configuration based on the location of the worktree.

Thanks.

Thanks. I'll start digging into this.

I'm scratching my head on this a bit. The [includeIf "onbranch:foo"] form is a bit confusing when dealing with a worktree. It looks
like the code either does not work if in a worktree or will get the branch of the main repo instead of the worktree ref. It looks
like include_by_branch() always returns 0 if in a worktree. Is there something being done in skip_prefix() or resolve_ref_unsafe()
that would deal with this?

Thanks,
Randall

I have a patch set available, but am having some issues convincing the combination of git, OpenSSL, and my ISP to talk to each
other. Specifically, I'm getting "ssl3_get_record:wrong version number", on every system I'm using. Probably an operator error. I
might have to manually post the patch files.
