This function find_shared_symref() is used in a couple places: 1) in builtin/branch.c: it's used to detect if a branch is checked out elsewhere and refuse to delete the branch. 2) in builtin/notes.c: it's used to detect if a note is being merged in another worktree 3) in branch.c, the function die_if_checked_out() is actually used by "git checkout" and "git worktree add" to see if a branch is already checked out elsewhere and refuse the operation. In cases 1 and 3, if a rebase is ongoing, "HEAD" will be in detached mode, find_shared_symref() fails to detect it and declares "no branch is checked out here", which is not really what we want. This patch tightens the test. If the given symref is "HEAD", we try to detect if rebase is ongoing. If so return the branch being rebased. This makes checkout and branch delete operations safer because you can't checkout a branch being rebased in another place, or delete it. Special case for checkout. If the current branch is being rebased, git-rebase.sh may use "git checkout" to abort and return back to the original branch. The updated test in find_shared_symref() will prevent that and "git rebase --abort" will fail as a result. find_shared_symref() and die_if_checked_out() have to learn a new option ignore_current_worktree to loosen the test a bit.

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 http://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-commandname.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 http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
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
