'logs/refs' is not a working tree-specific path, but since commit
b9317d55a3 (Make sure refs/rewritten/ is per-worktree, 2019-03-07)
'git rev-parse --git-path' has been returning a bogus path if a
trailing '/' is present:
$ git -C WT/ rev-parse --git-path logs/refs --git-path logs/refs/
/home/szeder/src/git/.git/logs/refs
/home/szeder/src/git/.git/worktrees/WT/logs/refs/
We use a trie data structure to efficiently decide whether a path
belongs to the common dir or is working tree-specific. As it happens
b9317d55a3 triggered a bug that is as old as the trie implementation
itself, added in 4e09cf2acf (path: optimize common dir checking,
2015-08-31).
- According to the comment describing trie_find(), it should only
call the given match function 'fn' for a "/-or-\0-terminated
prefix of the key for which the trie contains a value". This is
not true: there are three places where trie_find() calls the match
function, but one of them is missing the check for value's
existence.
- b9317d55a3 added two new keys to the trie: 'logs/refs/rewritten'
and 'logs/refs/worktree', next to the already existing
'logs/refs/bisect'. This resulted in a trie node with the path
'logs/refs/', which didn't exist before, and which doesn't have a
value attached. A query for 'logs/refs/' finds this node and then
hits that one callsite of the match function which doesn't check
for the value's existence, and thus invokes the match function
with NULL as value.
- When the match function check_common() is invoked with a NULL
value, it returns 0, which indicates that the queried path doesn't
belong to the common directory, ultimately resulting the bogus
path shown above.
Add the missing condition to trie_find() so it will never invoke the
match function with a non-existing value. check_common() will then no
longer have to check that it got a non-NULL value, so remove that
condition.
I believe that there are no other paths that could cause similar bogus
output. AFAICT the only other key resulting in the match function
being called with a NULL value is 'co' (because of the keys 'common'
and 'config'). However, as they are not in a directory that belongs
to the common directory the resulting working tree-specific path is
expected.

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-<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).
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
