        This is the same as `gitdir` except that matching is done
        case-insensitively (e.g. on case-insensitive file sytems)
 
+`onbranch`::
+       The data that follows the keyword `onbranch:` is taken to be a
+       pattern with standard globbing wildcards and two additional
+       ones, `**/` and `/**`, that can match multiple path components.
+       If we are in a worktree where the name of the branch that is
+       currently checked out matches the pattern, the include condition
+       is met.
++
+If the pattern ends with `/`, `**` will be automatically added. For
+example, the pattern `foo/` becomes `foo/**`. In other words, it matches
+all branches that begin with `foo/`. This is useful if your branches are
+organized hierarchically and you would like to apply a configuration to
+all the branches in that hierarchy.
+
 A few more notes on matching via `gitdir` and `gitdir/i`:
 
  * Symlinks in `$GIT_DIR` are not resolved before matching.
