From 3269184becfb28c26565deeba34e18a4ea2aab28 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: K Jayatheerth Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 23:28:12 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] repo: add path.toplevel with absolute and relative suffix formatting Scripts frequently need to find the root directory of a repository's working tree. Currently, this requires using `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` or inferring it from other repository information. Introduce `path.toplevel.absolute` and `path.toplevel.relative` keys to `git repo info`. This allows scripts to retrieve the top-level working tree path in a predictable, strictly formatted manner without relying on `rev-parse`. If requested in a bare repository where no working tree exists, the command returns an empty string.

While this information can be retrieved through `git rev-parse --show-cdup`, `git repo info` does not currently expose it as a scriptable key. Introduce the `path.cdup` key to `git repo info`. The key returns the path from the current working directory to the root of the working tree, returning the empty string when invoked from the working tree root.
