Dear git developer community!
I'll just do a very simple small bug report.
I tried to use the git worktree command in vscode today. vscode version: updated git version 2.34.1
I created a worktree inside vscode, inside the extension gitlens by right clicking on another brach and selecting worktree. This was not working immideately, so I first created a new folder (../new_folder) where I then linked the worktree to. This was working fine. git worktree list showed both locations with their respective two branches.
Then I switched to the new_folder, using 'pushd'.
Bug 1) In the Explorer field of vscode I did still see the files as they were before changing directory. Even if I reloaded it. But in the shell of vscode I saw the files as they should be (as they are on the branch which is tied to the new_folder).
Bug 2) more problematic worktree overwrote my settings.json file. file: .vscode/settings.json (not tracked by git) Could be because the Extension 'cSpell' overwrote it. I was adding two new words to its dictionary, which is saved inside the settings json. What I am left now is a settings.json that contains only the cSpell.words dict with two words in it. My original settings.json is gone...
Not that much of a problem, but inconvenient, as a cannot get it back, since git did not track it...
Hope this helps in some way!
Best, Konstantin
