"git init --split-repo abc" will create abc/.git file with the content
gitsuper: `git rev-parse --git-dir`
gitdir: abc
and a new directory in current .git/repos/abc with a valid HEAD.
This is enough to start checking out and do stuff. We should probably
take a branch name and check that branch out though. If that's the
case, this feature may better be parked in "git checkout" instead of
here..
So far it's not any better than git-new-workdir, except that info from
all worktrees created this way is centralized in the super repo's
.git/repos, which makes it possible to ensure what worktree does not
step on one another. In particular:
- If a worktree updates a ref, we could check if any other worktrees
are also checking out that ref. Detach those worktrees.
- prune/gc should be taught about the extra HEADs in .git/repos. fsck
on the super repo should be taught about extra indexes in
.git/repos
- ...
