The `includeIf` mechanism already supports matching on the `.git` directory path (`gitdir`) and the currently checked out branch (`onbranch`). But in multi-worktree setups the `.git` directory of a linked worktree points into the main repository's `.git/worktrees/` area, which makes `gitdir` patterns cumbersome when one wants to include config based on the working tree's checkout path instead.
Introduce two new condition keywords:
- `worktree:<pattern>` matches the realpath of the current worktree's
working directory against a glob pattern.
- `worktree/i:<pattern>` is the case-insensitive variant.Supported pattern features: glob wildcards, `**/` and `/**`, `~` expansion, `./` relative paths, and trailing-`/` prefix matching. The condition never matches in a bare repository.
Signed-off-by: Chen Linxuan <me@black-desk.cn> --- Changes in v4: - Deduplicate the worktree pattern documentation by referencing the gitdir syntax instead of repeating the full pattern description (suggested by Patrick Steinhardt). - Add documentation comparing includeIf "worktree:" with extensions.worktreeConfig, including a concrete use case example (suggested by Phillip Wood, Junio C Hamano). - Add a test verifying that the worktree condition does not match during early config reading (suggested by Patrick Steinhardt). - Add tests for the non-repository (nongit) scenario (suggested by Patrick Steinhardt). - Add a test for the case-insensitive "worktree/i" variant - Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260403-includeif-worktree-v3-0-109ce5782b03@black-desk.cn
Changes in v3: - Apply Junio's suggestion. - Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260402-includeif-worktree-v2-0-36e339b898d7@black-desk.cn
Changes in v2:
