New design. We now define multiworktree behavior with config var extensions.worktree. Latest git must support all older behavior versions. If config file says "version 1", even if latest version is 3, git must behave like version 1. This covers all aspects of multi-worktree, not just config files.
With that foundation, we can now build version 1 (version 0 is what is already released). Version 1 stores per-worktree config in $GIT_DIR/worktrees/.../config. The list of config vars is hard coded. New list requires new worktree version. The hard coded list actually supports precise variable name matching, or prefix matching (e.g. submodule.*). I don't suppose we need full fnmatch to support submodules. include.path is now extended a bit to give the user an opportunity to change the config split. The user can turn a shared config into per-worktree (but not the other way around). It's done by allowing env expansion in include.path. So if you specify include.path = $GIT_DIR/abc "abc" will always be per-worktree. Upgrade support is manual (for now). When a new worktree is added, we can bump from version 0 (i.e. extensions.worktree is missing) to 1. But that's it. We can't safely bump 1 to 2 automatically. The code in this series is not meant to be run (I didn't even test it). It's just in case my C expresses my ideas better than my English.
