----------------------------------
[~kaysoky] Seems the two tickets has much in common, should I close this one
and track the problem there?
> post-reviews.py should support multiple git worktrees

> Key: MESOS-4216
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-4216
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build
> Reporter: Shuai Lin
> Priority: Trivial
>
> Git 2.5 add a new feature "multiple worktrees", e.g. one can checkout
> multiple worktrees of the same local git repo, which share the same .git
> directory.
> For example, the following command:
> {code}
> git worktree add -b new-branch ../mesos-new-branch master
> {code}
> would create a new folder {{mesos-new-branch}} in the parent folder of mesos
> source tree.
> See [this github
> blog|https://github.com/blog/2042-git-2-5-including-multiple-worktrees-and-triangular-workflows]
> for details.
> This feature is quite handy when developing mesos: you can avoid re-compiling
> mesos (really costs a lot of time) when you need to temporary switch to
> another branch and switch back soon after: you just create a worktree, and do
> stuff there.
> Currently the {{post-reviews.py}} script doesn't work well if not running in
> the default worktree, becase it would look for the {{.git}} folder. In
> non-default worktree, `.git` is a file whose content points to the real
> `.git` dir.
> {code}
> $ cd ~/dev/mesos-new-branch
> $ cat .git
> gitdir: ~/dev/mesos/.git/worktrees/mesos-new-branch
> {code}
