I'll keep that in mind. Looks like Ubuntu 14.04 has python v3.4 and git v1.9. I'm used to more recent versions so maybe I'll take the time to set up a VM to test things in. > So I think we should have an option to keep the old behaviour, or > perhaps detect when 'git worktree' is not available and fall back. I can check whether 'git worktree list' succeeds, it should have no effect on the repo but would give a 'not a git command' error if things wouldn't work; in which case buildman could fall back to cloning. I'll implement and send a v2 with something like that.
