Thank you. It would be nice to have it, so that features
like submodules work fully.

Now there are extensions support, would it make sense to
mark repositories which use per-worktree config with an
extension? It could clearly separate 2.5-style
multi-worktree repositories (which might exist already
around) from the new format. The extension could be set by
'worktree add' while creating first worktree, for example.

Using builtin defaults might be confusing for users -
editing the info/config.worktree they must keep in mind the
list of defaults (which they seem to don't know). Also, if
anybody wants to extend the default list (like myself, for
submodules), should they edit the info/config.worktree in
provided template of extend the builtin list? What was wrong
with the default in template?
