Subject: 'git maintenance' won't work on bare repos
Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2021 18:01:24 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CABXAcUzRhkeQhVtwtx-NBR0hbkoo=aCTwN464Dsj8680GPMDxw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

Because we have a fairly large repository, our developers rely on
worktrees created off a bare mirror clone. I'd like to enable
maintenance, and since the worktrees are rather short-lived instances,
we cannot point 'git maintenance' to it.
So the proper solution is to do it from the bare clone itself.
However, 'git maintenance register' silently fails (with an 0 exit
code). There are two tell-tale signs:
1. 'git config --global --get maintenance.repo' returns '.'
2. There are no Crontab entries inserted.

Running 'git maintenance register' from a worktree created off the
bare clone works as expected.

To reproduce:
git init --bare test-me
git -C test-me maintenance register
git config --global --get maintenance.repo

The workaround, for now, is to run this from a worktree, then use 'git
config' to reset to the corresponding bare clone location.

Thanks,

Clément
