That would be easy to overlook when coming up with $GIT_DIR/foo for implementing the git-foo. > > - Inside refs/, which is shared by default except refs/bisect, add > refs/local/ which is per-worktree.

So I would think that local may soon become an overused word, (just like "index" today or "recursive" to a lesser extend). Could this special area be more explicit? (refs/worktree-local/ ? or after peeking at the docs below refs/un-common/ ?)
