That's just a precaution (technically it's not necessary, just stops you from doing some dumb things). Suppose the following scenario: * non-bare repository A, with branch 'master' currently checked out. * clone B -> somebody's working on branch 'master' (which was forked from A's master) * on A, somebody did some local changes * meanwhile somebody pushes the branch 'master' from B to A * after that, on A, new commit to 'master'. Weird things can happen, eg. the changes coming from B completely reverted by the new commit in A. Unless nobody pushes to the branch currently checked and later somebody doing local changes after that, there shouldn't be any real technical problem. But then, you most likely wont need an worktree anyways. Wait, there *is* an usecase for such things, deploying trees (eg. webapps) some server: * application is developed in git * the final production-system tree is maintained in certian branch * a post-update hook acts on a specific production branch and does something like git checkout --detach <treeish> cu -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards Enrico Weigelt VNC - Virtual Network Consult GmbH Head Of Development Pariser Platz 4a, D-10117 Berlin Tel.: +49 (30) 3464615-20 Fax: +49 (30) 3464615-59 enrico.weig...@vnc.biz; www.vnc.de -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
