+extensions.worktreeConfig::
+ If enabled, then worktrees will load config settings from the
+ `$GIT_DIR/config.worktree` file in addition to the
+ `$GIT_COMMON_DIR/config` file. Note that `$GIT_COMMON_DIR` and
+ `$GIT_DIR` are the same for the main working tree, while other
+ working trees have `$GIT_DIR` equal to
+ `$GIT_COMMON_DIR/worktrees/<id>/`. The settings in the
+ `config.worktree` file will override settings from any other
+ 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
+regardless of the `core.repositoryFormatVersion` setting.

+sparse.expectFilesOutsideOfPatterns::
+ Typically with sparse checkouts, files not matching any
+ sparsity patterns are marked with a SKIP_WORKTREE bit in the
+ index and are missing from the working tree. Accordingly, Git
+ will ordinarily check whether files with the SKIP_WORKTREE bit
+ are in fact present in the working tree contrary to
+ expectations. If Git finds any, it marks those paths as
+ present by clearing the relevant SKIP_WORKTREE bits. This
+ option can be used to tell Git that such
+ present-despite-skipped files are expected and to stop
+ checking for them.
++
+The default is `false`, which allows Git to automatically recover
+from the list of files in the index and working tree falling out of
+sync.
++
+Set this to `true` if you are in a setup where some external factor
+relieves Git of the responsibility for maintaining the consistency
+between the presence of working tree files and sparsity patterns. For
+example, if you have a Git-aware virtual file system that has a robust
+mechanism for keeping the working tree and the sparsity patterns up to
+date based on access patterns.
++
+Regardless of this setting, Git does not check for
+present-despite-skipped files unless sparse checkout is enabled, so
+this config option has no effect unless `core.sparseCheckout` is
+`true`.
