Serena and git worktrees?

[nickolay-kondratyev]

When using git worktree add -b we get a clean slate like directory, so /.serena/cache files do not transfer over to the worktree.

Would the suggested workflow be to just copy the cache files into new worktree created directory? (My re-indexing takes about 1.5 minutes on kotlin code, so would be nice to avoid it)

ORIG/.serena/cache -COPY_TO-> WORKTREE/.serena/cache

Or are there some absolute paths that get thrown into the PKL files like .serena/cache/kotlin/document_symbols_cache_v23-06-25.pkl, which would prevent such copying?

Copying is the way to go, there are no absolute paths. If you want, feel free to add a few sentences on that in the readme
