[PATCH v2 4/6] builtin/worktree: move setup of commondir file earlier

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Jan 8, 2024, 10:05 UTC
Message-ID
<f2eb02028840fb791b038550d6af7fba3ff49731.1704705733.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1704705733.git.ps@pks.im>

Shuffle around how we create supporting worktree files so that we first ensure that the worktree has all link files ("gitdir", "commondir") before we try to initialize the ref database by writing "HEAD". This will be required by a subsequent commit where we start to initialize the ref database via `refs_init_db()`, which will require an initialized `struct worktree *`.
