OK. Establishing such a convention is a good role for the core-git should play to help third-party tools. Should this play well with the per-worktree configuration as well? Is it better to carve out a configuration variable namespace so that certain keys are never read from common ones (or per-worktree ones), so that people can tell which ones are what? I know your current design says "this is just another new layer, and the users can hang themselves with this new rope". I am wondering if there is a need to do something a bit more structured.
