Documentation: add extensions.worktreeConfig details
The extensions.worktreeConfig extension was added in 58b284a (worktree:
add per-worktree config files, 2018-10-21) and was somewhat documented
in Documentation/git-config.txt. However, the extensions.worktreeConfig
value was not specified further in the list of possible config keys. The
location of the config.worktree file is not specified, and there are
some precautions that should be mentioned clearly, but are only
mentioned in git-worktree.txt.
Expand the documentation to help users discover the complexities of
extensions.worktreeConfig by adding details and cross links in these
locations (relative to Documentation/):
- config/extensions.txt
- git-config.txt
- git-worktree.txt
The updates focus on items such as
* $GIT_DIR/config.worktree takes precedence over $GIT_COMMON_DIR/config.
* The core.worktree and core.bare=true settings are incorrect to have in
the common config file when extensions.worktreeConfig is enabled.
* The sparse-checkout settings core.sparseCheckout[Cone] are recommended
to be set in the worktree config.
As documented in 11664196ac ("Revert "check_repository_format_gently():
refuse extensions for old repositories"", 2020-07-15), this extension
must be considered regardless of the repository format version for
historical reasons.
A future change will update references to extensions.worktreeConfig
within git-sparse-checkout.txt, but a behavior change is needed before
making those updates.
