With the function set_git_dir() you can reset the path that will be used for git_path(), git_dir() and friends. The responsibility to close files and throw away information from the old git_dir lies with the caller. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <redacted> --- This is just ripped out from the branch--new-workdir topic I was working on, just that it has a shorter name now. Ah, and just to be sure, it xstrdup()s the path. cache.h | 1 + environment.c | 8 ++++++++ 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
