OK, would this work? This PoC patch adds a config key namespace
local.* that is written to $GIT_DIR/config.local instead of
$GIT_DIR/config (I still need to ban local.* in global config
files). This config.local is loaded togethr with $GIT_DIR/config.
For nd/multiple-work-trees we can transparently map
$GIT_DIR/config.local to $SUPER/worktrees/<id>/config.local. For
git-new-workdir.sh, perhaps we can teach include.path to make
config.local path relative to where the config symlink is, not where
the symlink target is.
We can then teach setup.c to read local.core.worktree if core.worktree
is not present, and more apdation in git-submodule.sh.. I don't expect
big changes because git-submodule.sh just needs to read some other
config keys and dont need to care if git-new-workdir.sh or
nd/multiple-work-trees is being used.
