I'm scratching my head on this a bit. The [includeIf "onbranch:foo"] form is a bit confusing when dealing with a worktree. It looks
like the code either does not work if in a worktree or will get the branch of the main repo instead of the worktree ref. It looks
like include_by_branch() always returns 0 if in a worktree. Is there something being done in skip_prefix() or resolve_ref_unsafe()
that would deal with this?

Thanks,
Randall
