From: Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget Date: Mon, 02 Mar 2026 15:36:41 GMT Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] for-each-repo: work correctly in a worktree Message-ID: In-Reply-To: This was reported by Matthew [1] and is a quick fix. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/CABpCjbY=wpStuhxqRJ5TSNV3A-CmN-g-xZGJOQGSSv3GYhs2fQ@mail.gmail.com/ I also took the liberty of removing the_repository as I wanted to make sure that wasn't involved here. Updates in v3 ============= v2 included some important changes that apparently didn't save in my cover letter. Sorry. The most important one was that the first patch was replaced with one that tests the command outside of a Git repo so the first patch in v1 can be caught as a bug. But v2 also included a bug! The filtering of GIT_CONFIG* environment variables was incorrect. Further, duplicating this logic from prepare_other_repo_env() was a new bug waiting to happen. Here is the new setup: * Patch 1 is the same as in v2. * A new Patch 2 extracts clear_local_repo_env() from prepare_other_repo_env(). * The old Patch 2 is now Patch 3 with a much simpler implementation that calls clear_local_repo_env(). * Tests are added to check that these config-related environment variables are preserved. The NO_REPLACE_OBJECTS case seemed like it would take longer than necessary to set up for the value it provides. * A fourth patch is added that simplifies the use of argv. It's separate because it modifies the original implementation in a way that is a "nice to have" but isn't necessary for solving the bug that motivates the series.
