[PATCH v6 7/9] config: correctly read worktree configs in submodules

From
Matheus Tavares <matheus.bernardino@usp.br>
Date
Sep 10, 2020, 17:21 UTC
Message-ID
<3a28b8e608c727d0e184fadf34ba4113933517c5.1599758167.git.matheus.bernardino@usp.br>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1599758167.git.matheus.bernardino@usp.br>

The config machinery is not able to read worktree configs from a submodule in a process where the_repository represents the superproject and extensions.worktreeConfig is not set there. Furthermore, when extensions.worktreeConfig is set on the superproject, querying for a worktree config in a submodule will, instead, return the value set at the superproject.

The relevant code is in do_git_config_sequence(). Although it is designed to act on an arbitrary repository, specified in the passed-in `struct config_options`, it accidentally depends on the_repository in two places:

- it reads the global variable `repository_format_worktree_config`,
  which is set based on the content of the_repository, to determine
  whether extensions.worktreeConfig is set.
- it uses the git_pathdup() helper to find the config.worktree file,
  instead of making a path using the passed-in repository.

Sever these dependencies and add a regression test. Also, to avoid future misuses of `repository_format_worktree_config` like this one, remove this global variable and store the config value on `struct repository` itself.
