Changes since last send (diff below):
 - rename $GIT_DIR/repos to $GIT_DIR/worktrees. update documents and
   command options accordingly
 - rewrite the multiple checkout section in git-checkout.txt
 - reorder some patches to make sure the test suite always pass

 "git clone". A repository has one main checkout and zero or more
 linked checkouts.
 
-All checkouts share the same repository. Linked checkouts see the
-repository a bit different from the main checkout. When the checkout
-"new" reads the path $GIT_DIR/HEAD for example, the actual path
-returned could be $GIT_DIR/repos/new/HEAD. This ensures checkouts
-won't step on each other.
-
-Each linked checkout has a private space in $GIT_DIR/repos, usually
-named after the base name of the working directory with a number added
-to make it unique. The linked checkout's $GIT_DIR points to this
-private space while $GIT_COMMON_DIR points to the main checkout's
-$GIT_DIR. These settings are done by "git checkout --to".
-
-Because in this mode $GIT_DIR becomes a lightweight virtual file
-system where a path could be rewritten to some place else, accessing
-$GIT_DIR from scripts should use `git rev-parse --git-path` to resolve
-a path instead of using it directly unless the path is known to be
-private to the working directory.
+Each linked checkout has a private directory in $GIT_DIR/worktrees in
+the main checkout, usually named after the base name of the new
+working directory, optionally with a number added to make it
+unique. For example, the command `git checkout --to ../test-next next`
+running with $GIT_DIR=/path/main may create the directory
+`$GIT_DIR/worktrees/test-next` (or `$GIT_DIR/worktrees/test-next1` if
+`test-next` is already taken).
+
+Within a linked checkout, $GIT_DIR is set to point to this private
+directory (e.g. `/path/main/worktrees/test-next` in the example) and
+$GIT_COMMON_DIR is set to point back to the main checkout's $GIT_DIR
+(e.g. `/path/main`). Setting is done via a .git file located at the
+top directory of the linked checkout.
+
+Path resolution via `git rev-parse --git-path` would use either
+$GIT_DIR or $GIT_COMMON_DIR depending on the path. For example, the
+linked checkout's `$GIT_DIR/HEAD` resolve to
+`/path/main/worktrees/test-next/HEAD` (not `/path/main/HEAD` which is
+the main checkout's HEAD) while `$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master` would use
+$GIT_COMMON_DIR and resolve to `/path/main/refs/heads/master`, which
+is shared across checkouts.
+
+See linkgit:gitrepository-layout[5] for more information. The rule of
+thumb is do not make any assumption about whether a path belongs to
+$GIT_DIR or $GIT_COMMON_DIR when you need to directly access something
+inside $GIT_DIR. Use `git rev-parse --git-path` to get the final path.
+
+When you are done, simply deleting the linked working directory would
+suffice. $GIT_DIR/worktrees can be cleaned up using `git prune
+--worktrees`, which is part of automated garbage collection.
+
+After you move a linked working directory to another file system, or
+on a file system that does not support hard link, execute any git
+command (e.g. `git status`) in the new working directory so that it
+could update its location in $GIT_DIR/worktrees and not be
+accidentally pruned.
+
+To stop `git prune --worktrees` from deleting a specific working
+directory (e.g. because it's on a portable device), you could add the
+file 'locked' to $GIT_DIR/worktrees. For example, if `.git` file of
+the new working directory points to `/path/main/worktrees/test-next`,
+the full path of the 'locked' file would be
+`/path/main/worktrees/test-next/locked`. See
+linkgit:gitrepository-layout[5] for details.
