The acceptable values are `sha1` and + `sha256`. If not specified, `sha1` is assumed. It is an error to specify + this key unless `core.repositoryFormatVersion` is 1. ++ +Note that this setting should only be set by linkgit:git-init[1] or +linkgit:git-clone[1]. Trying to change it after initialization will not +work and will produce hard-to-diagnose issues. + +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. |
