Thanks for your effort! Looks like my suspicion that not only submodule specific configuration should be kept per worktree wasn't completely wrong ;-)

Me thinks Duy's proposal to configure the per worktree settings in a config file might make lots of sense. We could then provide a default version of that file with settings that fit most use cases and the user could then adapt that to her special needs if needed.
