Callers don't expect library function find_worktree() to die(); they
expect it to return the named worktree if found, or NULL if not.
Although find_worktree() itself never invokes die(), it calls
real_pathdup() with 'die_on_error' incorrectly set to 'true', thus will
die() indirectly if the user-provided path is not to real_pathdup()'s
liking. This can be observed, for instance, with any git-worktree
command which searches for an existing worktree:
$ git worktree unlock foo
fatal: 'foo' is not a working tree
$ git worktree unlock foo/bar
fatal: Invalid path '.../foo': No such file or directory
The first error message is the expected one from "git worktree unlock"
not finding the specified worktree; the second is from find_worktree()
invoking real_pathdup() incorrectly and die()ing prematurely.
Aside from the inconsistent error message between the two cases, this
bug hasn't otherwise been a serious problem since existing callers all
die() anyhow when the worktree can't be found. However, that may not be
true of callers added in the future, so fix find_worktree() to avoid
die()ing.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
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):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
