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. |
