worktree: update is_bare heuristics
When "git branch -D <name>" is run, Git usually first checks if that
branch is currently checked out. But this check is not performed if the
Git directory of that repository is not at "<repo>/.git", which is the
case if that repository is a submodule that has its Git directory stored
as "super/.git/modules/<repo>", for example. This results in the branch
being deleted even though it is checked out.
This is because get_main_worktree() in worktree.c sets is_bare on a
worktree only using the heuristic that a repo is bare if the worktree's
path does not end in "/.git", and not bare otherwise. This is_bare code
was introduced in 92718b7438 ("worktree: add details to the worktree
struct", 2015-10-08), following a pre-core.bare heuristic. This patch
does 2 things:
- Teach get_main_worktree() to use is_bare_repository() instead,
introduced in 7d1864ce67 ("Introduce is_bare_repository() and
core.bare configuration variable", 2007-01-07) and updated in
e90fdc39b6 ("Clean up work-tree handling", 2007-08-01). This solves
the "git branch -D <name>" problem described above. However...
- If a repository has core.bare=1 but the "git" command is being run
from one of its secondary worktrees, is_bare_repository() returns
false (which is fine, since there is a worktree available). However,
treating the main worktree as non-bare when it is bare causes issues:
for example, failure to delete a branch from a secondary worktree
that is referred to by a main worktree's HEAD, even if that main
worktree is bare.
In order to avoid that, also check core.bare when setting is_bare. If
core.bare=1, trust it, and otherwise, use is_bare_repository().

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
