[PATCH 9/9] worktree: delete .git/worktrees if empty after 'remove'

From
Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>
Date
Aug 28, 2018, 21:20 UTC
Message-ID
<20180828212026.21989-10-sunshine@sunshineco.com>
In-Reply-To
<20180828212026.21989-1-sunshine@sunshineco.com>

For cleanliness, "git worktree prune" deletes the .git/worktrees directory if it is empty after pruning is complete.

For consistency, make "git worktree remove <path>" likewise delete .git/worktrees if it is empty after the removal.
