[New-bugs-announce] [issue29798] Handle "git worktree" in "make patchcheck"

[Nick Coghlan]

New submission from Nick Coghlan:

While backporting issue 29656 to get "make patchcheck" to play nice with git PR branches, I discovered an incompatibility between the way "git worktree" works and the assumptions in "patchcheck.py".

Specifically, in a worktree, ".git" is a file, rather than a directory:

    $ cat .git
    gitdir: /home/ncoghlan/devel/cpython/.git/worktrees/py27

So the current isdir() check should be relaxed to just an exists() check.
