The working tree's parent path should not point to the parent's gitdir,
but to the parent's working directory. Pointing to the gitdir would not
make any sense, as the parent's working directory is actually equal to
both repository's common directory.
Fix the issue.
While we already provide functionality to look up a worktree from a
repository, we cannot do so the other way round. That is given a
repository, we want to look up its worktree if it actually exists.
Getting the worktree of a repository is useful when we want to get
certain meta information like the parent's location, getting the locked
status, etc.
An untracked file in a submodule should not prevent a rebase from
starting. Even if the submodule's SHA is changed, and that file would
conflict with a new tracked file, it's still OK to start the rebase
and discover the conflict later.

This test ensures that it's possible to create a symbolic ref that
has arbitrary data as its target. It also ensures it's possible
to obtain the target of that symbolic reference from the git_reference
object.
Provide more detailed messages when conditions pass or fail
unexpectedly. In particular, this provides the error messages when a
test fails with a different error code than was expected.
When opening a worktree via the gitdir of its parent repository
we fail to correctly set up the worktree's working directory. The
problem here is two-fold: we first fail to see that the gitdir
actually is a gitdir of a working tree and then subsequently
fail to determine the working tree location from the gitdir.
The first problem of not noticing a gitdir belongs to a worktree
can be solved by checking for the existence of a `gitdir` file in
the gitdir. This file points back to the gitlink file located in
the working tree's working directory. As this file only exists
for worktrees, it should be sufficient indication of the gitdir
belonging to a worktree.
The second problem, that is determining the location of the
worktree's working directory, can then be solved by reading the
`gitdir` file in the working directory's gitdir. When we now
resolve relative paths and strip the final `.git` component, we
have the actual worktree's working directory location.
The `path_repository` variable is actually confusing to think
about, as it is not always clear what the repository actually is.
It may either be the path to the folder containing worktree and
.git directory, the path to .git itself, a worktree or something
entirely different. Actually, the intent of the variable is to
hold the path to the gitdir, which is either the .git directory
or the bare repository.
Rename the variable to `gitdir` to avoid confusion. While at it,
also rename `path_gitlink` to `gitlink` to improve consistency.
If a branch is already checked out in a working tree we are not
allowed to check out that branch in another repository. Introduce
this restriction when setting a repository's HEAD.
Implement `git_repository_head_for_worktree` and
`git_repository_head_detached_for_worktree` for directly accessing a
worktree's HEAD without opening it as a `git_repository` first.
Implement the `git_worktree_prune` function. This function can be
used to delete working trees from a repository. According to the
flags passed to it, it can either delete the working tree's
gitdir only or both gitdir and the working directory.
Working trees support locking by creating a file `locked` inside
the tree's gitdir with an optional reason inside. Support this
feature by adding functions to get and set the locking status.
Add a new function that checks wether a given `struct
git_worktree` is valid. The validation includes checking if the
gitdir, parent directory and common directory are present.
Introduce a new `struct git_worktree`, which holds information
about a possible working tree connected to a repository.
Introduce functions to allow opening working trees for a
repository.
A repository's configuartion file can always be found in the
GIT_COMMON_DIR, which has been newly introduced. For normal
repositories this does change nothing, but for working trees this
change allows to access the shared configuration file.
