Worktree resolves to wrong path

[ibhagwan]

Current behavior 😯

When using a git bare repo with submodules (dotfiles) gix status results in a crash, it seels that the submodule is resolved to the wrong path (missing the username, should be /home/bhagwan...):

Text version of the error:

→ gix status
Error: Could not determine status for submodule at '.config/awesome/lain'

Caused by:
    Worktree root at '/home/.config/awesome/lain' is not a directory

Expected behavior 🤔

Expected to return the output of the status command.

Git behavior

git status succeeds with no issue:

Output of submodule:

Output of worktree list:

Steps to reproduce 🕹

1. setup git repository with submodules in ~/dots
2. cd ~/dots
3. git config core.worktree $HOME
4. ln -fs ~/dots/.git ~/.git
5. cd ..
6. gix status (in $HOME)

If you wish to try it out, the process above is automated by my dotfiles install script.

Thanks a lot for reporting!

I think the issue seems to be that the worktree isn't correctly computed when core.worktree is used.

• git: /home/bhagwan/dots
• gix: /home/bhagwan

When trying it myself, with an empty repository, I am getting even more interesting results:

~ ( main) [?]
❯ gix worktree list
/Users/byron [main]

~ ( main) [?]
❯ git worktree list
/Users/byron/dev/testing  0000000 [main]

Git shows the original location of the repository, while gix shows the correct one. In any case, something is fishy.
