Thank you. It would be nice to have it, so that features like submodules work fully.

Now there are extensions support, would it make sense to mark repositories which use per-worktree config with an extension? It could clearly separate 2.5-style multi-worktree repositories (which might exist already around) from the new format. The extension could be set by 'worktree add' while creating first worktree, for example.

Using builtin defaults might be confusing for users - editing the info/config.worktree they must keep in mind the list of defaults (which they seem to don't know). Also, if anybody wants to extend the default list (like myself, for submodules), should they edit the info/config.worktree in provided template of extend the builtin list? What was wrong with the default in template?
