gix-worktree v0.58.0

New Features

• remove linked worktrees safely

  Provide the gix-worktree plumbing needed to recursively remove a linked
  checkout and its private Git directory without following symbolic links or
  crossing Unix mount boundaries.

  Use dua-core for traversal and parallel deletion with progress reporting,
  bounded retries for directory-not-empty races, and errors distinguishing
  checkout and administration failures. Keep repository validation, dirty-state
  checks, lock policy, and branch decisions with higher-level callers.

• create linked worktrees

  Add transactional linked-worktree administration with rollback, then compose
  it in gix with existing reference, checkout, index, progress, and interruption
  machinery.

  Support attached and detached worktrees from bare or non-bare repositories while
  rejecting occupied branches and destinations. Keep move, remove, repair, hooks,
  sparse checkout, and relative-link configuration out of scope.

Bug Fixes

• skip symlinked ignore files and protect checkout writes

  A tracked .gitignore symlink was absent from the skip-worktree ID
  mapping, so ordinary ignore lookup could parse arbitrary external files.
  An endless target could also exhaust memory.

  Always request no-follow reads for worktree .gitignore files, regardless
  of their index entry. Use gix_fs::open_read_only_no_follow() when pattern
  loading disallows symlinks, treating skipped links as absent files so
  skip-worktree blob fallback remains available. Discard partially read
  pattern bytes on failure.

  Use the same helper for the worktree .mailmap, reporting symlinks as
  errors without reading their targets and identifying worktree read errors
  correctly. Explicitly configured pattern files and mailmap.file may
  still follow symlinks.

  On Windows, inspect nonexclusive checkout handles for symlinks before
  truncating with set_len(0) or writing. Retain forced unlink-and-replace
  behavior and route symlinks checked out as ordinary files through the
  same validated open path. No-follow protection applies to the final path
  component on Unix and Windows; leading components can still be symlinks.

  Compare ignore lookup and skip-worktree fallback against isolated Git
  check-ignore calls. Cover mailmap policies and checkout collisions with
  file, directory, and dangling symlink targets, including links created
  after the Windows path check and validation before truncation.
