So @phpstorm can handle worktrees...At least when you only have one git-repo in your project....Good. I now have removed the other three git-repos from the project (sucks because - microservices os so but hey! If that's your requirement I'll try it!)Turns out: One of those removed git repos had subrepos....The main repo is gone from the Worktrees view. The 2 subrepos are still there.... And there seems to be no way to remove them...Is that something for a bug-report? Or is it just me?

@phpstorm It's me. And also my #edgecases When you create a worktree inside a container and didn'T set git config worktree.useRelativePaths true then the gitdif file in the .git/worktree folder and the .git file in your visible worktree will link to each other in absolute paths - based on the containers filesystem...Outside the container PHPStorm can then not find those files and 💥 Thanks for the learning opportunity! 🙈 Oh and the submodules were stuck in .idea/vcs.xml...

    @phpstorm And then I have to open the worktree as a new Project in a separate window? I can't attach it to the current project?🤯 And even opening it in the same window will create a totally separate .idea folder and all my settings from before are ... gone...Whoever thought that's a good UX might want to reconsider that decision....

    @heiglandreas @phpstorm And everything you’re describing is in 2026.3? I’ve read that they made some updates to how PHPStorm handles worktrees, but I had assumed that everything you described would work now.blog.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/20
