+checkout.defaultRemote::
+	When you run 'git checkout <something>' and only have one
+	remote, it may implicitly fall back on checking out and
+	tracking e.g. 'origin/<something>'. This stops working as soon
+	as you have more than one remote with a '<something>'
+	reference. This setting allows for setting the name of a
+	preferred remote that should always win when it comes to
+	disambiguation. The typical use-case is to set this to
+	`origin`.
++
+Currently this is used by linkgit:git-checkout[1] when 'git checkout
+<something>' will checkout the '<something>' branch on another remote,
+and by linkgit:git-worktree[1] when 'git worktree add' refers to a
+remote branch. This setting might be used for other checkout-like
+commands or functionality in the future.
+
+checkout.optimizeNewBranch::
+	Optimizes the performance of "git checkout -b <new_branch>" when
+	using sparse-checkout.  When set to true, git will not update the
+	repo based on the current sparse-checkout settings.  This means it
+	will not update the skip-worktree bit in the index nor add/remove
+	files in the working directory to reflect the current sparse checkout
+	settings nor will it show the local changes.
