+checkout.defaultRemote::
+ When you run 'git checkout <something>' and only have one
+ remote, it may implicitly fall back on checking out and
+ tracking e.g. 'origin/<something>'. 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.
