+CONFIGURATION FILE
+------------------
+By default, the repository "config" file is shared across all working
+trees. If the config variables `core.bare` or `core.worktree` are
+already present in the config file, they will be applied to the main
+working trees only.
+
+In order to have configuration specific to working trees, you can turn
+on "worktreeConfig" extension, e.g.:
+
+------------
+$ git config extensions.worktreeConfig true
+------------
+
+In this mode, specific configuration stays in the path pointed by `git
+rev-parse --git-path config.worktree`. You can add or update
+configuration in this file with `git config --worktree`. Older Git
+versions will refuse to access repositories with this extension.
+
+Note that in this file, the exception for `core.bare` and `core.worktree`
+is gone. If you have them in $GIT_DIR/config before, you must move
+them to the `config.worktree` of the main working tree. You may also
+take this opportunity to review and move other configuration that you
+do not want to share to all working trees:
+
+ - `core.worktree` and `core.bare` should never be shared
+
+ - `core.sparseCheckout` is recommended per working tree, unless you
+   are sure you always use sparse checkout for all working trees.
