Path Resolution Issues, especially when used together with virtual machines

[kmzeise]

I run into a problem when I use git repositories both natively from the Mac, and via network share from a VM running on it. This means that the same repository is addressed from two different path, say ~/Repositories/rep on the Mac, and //vmware-host/Shared Folders/Repositories/rep from the VM.

This gives a "Cannot find path" error message every time I open ~/Repositories.

Would it be possible to add a substitution map for paths so that these references resolve correctly?

@kmzeise frankly, I don't fully understand your setup at this moment. Let me make a similar setup and try to reproduce the issue. If in the meantime you can come up with more details, please do :-)

A bit of background:

• The VM uses VMWare Fusion, and runs Windows. I use TortoiseGit under Windows, latest version 2.12.
• The repository that causes the problem was cloned under Windows. Cloning with TortoiseGit will trigger it.
• TortoiseGit so far had no issues with repositories cloned with GitFinder
• I have a folder with all my repositories on my Mac, and I access it on Windows using the VMWare Shared Folder feature
• The folder for the repositories is ~/Repositories on the Mac and \vmware-host\Shared Folders\Repositories on Windows, in addition drive letter Z: is mapped to \vmware-host\Shared Folders. The error message mentions \vmware-host\Shared Folders\Repositories

After a bit of digging I found that in the .git/config file there is an entry [core] worktree = //vmware-host/Shared Folders/Repositories/[repository name]

I suspect that this line causes the problem
