Thanks! I think the feature is good, had a few comments on the implementation.

Possible to do this instead? This won't break on filepaths that include a newline and removes the (unecessary?) eval

Thank you for the improvement. It is fixed with my new commit 5a7c33d.
A few comments:
- Compared to your proposition, I added a missing
<(the first one is thestdinredirection, the second one is the process substitution). I tested this implementation against paths with spaces, which is working. Note that I assume you meant "filepaths that include a space" and not "filepaths that include a newline", right? - I removed the unnecessary
eval, which was introduced here since the very first commit57c0eb7ofgit-bulk, for a non obvious reason to me.

Yeah that's what I meant haha

This codepath changes the default. According to the manpage:
Since it is the default, the -P option should be considered to be in effect unless either -H or -L is specified.
I don't think changing the default behavior is a good idea. Maybe the flag should be --follow-symlinks to make this clearer?

Indeed, this codepath change the default of find... but not the default of the git-bulk behavior, where the -L flag was added in commit 3730339 in 2018.
I did this in this way to not change the default git-bulk behavior. But I agree with you that it may have been better to not change find default in the first place.
So, from this, what do you prefer? On my side, I don't have any strong opinion about this. :)

Oops! Yeah you're right, my mistake. I agree we don't want to change the default git-bulk behavior
1. Use `readarray` such that we can handle paths with spaces 2. Remove the unnecessary `eval`

Add a new option
--no-follow-symlinksforgit-bulkto not traverse symlinks under the workspace directories when searching for git repositories. This PR does not change the default behavior, it only add the option for the user.
