project: fix m/ pseudo ref handling with git worktrees
Since most ref namespaces are shared among all worktrees, trying to set the pseudo m/<branch> in the common git repo ends up clobbering each other when using shared checkouts. For example, in CrOS: <project path="src/third_party/kernel/v3.8" name="chromiumos/third_party/kernel" revision="refs/heads/chromeos-3.8" /> <project path="src/third_party/kernel/v3.10" name="chromiumos/third_party/kernel" revision="refs/heads/chromeos-3.10" /> Trying to set m/master in chromiumos/third_party/kernel.git/ will keep clobbering the other. Instead, when using git worktrees, lets set the m/ pseudo ref to point into the refs/worktree/ namespace which is unique to each git worktree. So we have in the common dir: chromiumos/third_party/kernel.git/: refs/remotes/m/master: ref: refs/worktree/m/master And then in each worktree we point refs/worktree/m/master to the respective manifest revision expression. Now people can use the m/master in each git worktree and have it resolve to the right commit for that worktree.
