What is the state of git worktrees?

[blinxen]

I would like to create / update / repair / delete git worktree using gix (basically most of git worktree). Looking at the code, I did not find much. I think reading worktrees is supported but manipulating them is a different story.

I got two questions:

1. Did I miss something? Is this already supported somehow?
2. If this is missing, is it being worked on? If not then I can try giving it a go.

Worktrees are currently read-only, but that implementation at least was complete when I made it.

With that said, there is a gix-worktree crate which should receive all the mutations and tests, and maybe some of the listing logic and definition can also be back-ported from gix, which currently contains all the code for listing (which was done out of convenience)

If this is missing, is it being worked on? If not then I can try giving it a go.

I recommend giving it a go, and try your version of such an implementation in your fork and for whatever you want to use it. After a while, maybe it's something worth upstreaming.
