Greetings Stefan,

This weekend, I was working on two more possible user scenarios for
gotweb. Currently, I've been building on top of bare git cloned repos.
Then I thought, what if a user wanted to use gotweb on actual cloned
repos or their worktrees. So, I began by detecting the existence of .got
and .git directories.

This all works fine and dandy on git repos, but when got_repo_open
attempts to open a got repo, the "no git repository found" error is
thrown.

So, 1) Is this where the worktree commands come into play, directly on a
got worktree, and 2) do we suppose anyone might use gotweb in this
fashion?

Personally, I'd never keep my work repos in /var/www, but didn't know if
someone else might. 3) In the long-term plans for gotd, is that going to
work against bare repos with a got checkout process, similar to how it's
currently working with git?

Thanks. Just didn't want to spend more time on this code path, if it's
the wrong path to go down.

Regards,

Tracey
