Subject: [GSoC Patch v3 0/7] repo: add more path keys to git repo info
Message-ID: <20260726104343.16933-1-jayatheerthkulkarni2005@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <20260716012138.6714-1-jayatheerthkulkarni2005@gmail.com>

Series adds keys to git repo info.
Keys output paths of repository components:
* path.toplevel: repository tree.
* path.superproject-working-tree: superproject tree from submodules.
* path.objects: repository objects.
* path.hooks: repository hooks.
* path.index: repository index.
* path.grafts: repository grafts.
* path.git-prefix: prefix offset.

Keys support suffixes for format.
Commits contain documentation and tests.

Changes since v2:
* path.index: no functional change; documented that the returned path
  reflects the default/configured index location even in a bare
  repository or when the file doesn't exist yet, and added a test
  covering path.index inside a bare repository.
* path.grafts: no functional change; documented that the path is
  returned even if the grafts file doesn't currently exist on disk.
* path.git-prefix: no change since v2 (already addressed the stray
  include and misleading "validation" in the subject).
