It was added in Git 2.5. Prior to Git 2.5 there was a contrib shell script "git new-workdir" which used symlinks and so never worked on Windows. "git worktree" internalizes that facility, removes its reliance on symlinks, and improves it's capabilities. Also, there were important additions to worktree until Git 2.7 or so (actually there are still useful things being added even now). However, if you can be sure your version of Git is new enough, worktrees are pretty awesome. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
