- What commands did you run to trigger this issue? If you can provide a
Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example
this will help us understand the issue.
C:\>mkdir MyRoot
C:\>mklink /d MyRootLink MyRoot
symbolic link created for MyRootLink <<===>> MyRoot
C:\>cd MyRootLink
C:\MyRootLink>mkdir MyNewProj
C:\MyRootLink>cd MyNewProj
C:\MyRootLink\MyNewProj>git init
Initialized empty Git repository in C:/MyRootLink/MyNewProj/.git/
C:\MyRootLink\MyNewProj>git stash
fatal: C:\ken1\Git\mingw64/libexec/git-core\git-stash cannot be used without a working tree.
C:\MyRootLink\MyNewProj>git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree
false
- What did you expect to occur after running these commands?
Stash should not give that message and the rev-parse should say true.
- What actually happened instead?
Stash gives a non-sensical error message and rev-parse gives a false result.
After investigation I tracked it down to my use of symlinks above the worktree, Moving to the 'real' directory makes the commands work as expected.
