[PATCH v2 2/2] setup.c: learn discovery.bareRepository=cwd

From
Glen Choo via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
May 13, 2022, 23:37 UTC
Message-ID
<62070aab7eb8734f82e3881e25ff0f9cee6bb077.1652485058.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1261.v2.git.git.1652485058.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Glen Choo <chooglen@google.com>

Add a 'cwd' option to discovery.bareRepository, which allows a bare repository to be used if and only if the cwd is the root of a bare repository. This covers the common case where a user works with a bare repository by cd-ing into the repository's root.
