From: Pushkar Singh Date: Sun, 01 Mar 2026 14:03:16 GMT Subject: [PATCH 2/2] repo: add the field path.common-dir Message-ID: <20260301140315.1072729-2-pushkarkumarsingh1970@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <20260301134412.1072596-2-pushkarkumarsingh1970@gmail.com> Expose the repository common directory through a new path.common-dir field in git repo info. This mirrors the information available via git rev-parse --common-dir and allows structured retrieval through the repo subcommand. The value respects the --path-format flag.
