Subject: Running 'git worktree add' in 'pre-commit' hook
Message-ID: <CAJFQqN+Z9eX6onaj8vVSqpvf-nOC7-Y0Un4NLUie6x6bGfmvZA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello! I am trying to run 'git worktree add <path> HEAD' in the
'pre-commit' hook, more specifically in a Python script that is being
called from the hook. When doing so, I am greeted with the following
error:

On Windows 10:
Preparing worktree (detached HEAD cbfef18)
fatal: Unable to create 'C:/Users/meh/Desktop/abc/.git/index.lock': No
such file or directory

On Arch Linux:
Preparing worktree (detached HEAD cbfef18)
fatal: Unable to create '/home/cosmin/Downloads/abc/.git/index.lock':
Not a directory

Is it forbidden to call this command from a hook? If yes, what kind of
alternatives do I have? I need to make a copy of the repo in its HEAD
state, process it and then decide if I will pass the current commit or
not.

Thanks! :)
