+ config files.
++
+When enabling `extensions.worktreeConfig`, you must be careful to move
+certain values from the common config file to the main working tree's
+`config.worktree` file, if present:
++
+* `core.worktree` must be moved from `$GIT_COMMON_DIR/config` to
+ `$GIT_COMMON_DIR/config.worktree`.
+* If `core.bare` is true, then it must be moved from `$GIT_COMMON_DIR/config`
+ to `$GIT_COMMON_DIR/config.worktree`.
++
+It may also be beneficial to adjust the locations of `core.sparseCheckout`
+and `core.sparseCheckoutCone` depending on your desire for customizable
+sparse-checkout settings for each worktree. By default, the `git
+sparse-checkout` builtin enables `extensions.worktreeConfig`, assigns
+these config values on a per-worktree basis, and uses the
+`$GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout` file to specify the sparsity for each
+worktree independently. See linkgit:git-sparse-checkout[1] for more
+details.
++
+For historical reasons, `extensions.worktreeConfig` is respected
