All checkouts share the same repository. Linked checkouts see the

The checkout at <some-location> will have a unique id that is also the branch name (e.g. "<some-branch>"). A number may be appended to the id

.. and I got my facts wrong. The above line should be:

last component of <some-location>. A number may be appended to the id


That's fine. Glad that we're on the same wavelength for the documentation.

to make it unique. All worktree-specific files of this new checkout
are in $GIT_DIR/repos/<unique-id> of the main checkout. So "HEAD"
inside the linked checkout will be resolved to
"$GIT_DIR/repos/<some-branch>/HEAD", while "HEAD" from the main

s/<some-branch>/<unique-id>/

checkout remains "$GIT_DIR/HEAD".
