worktree.guessRemote::
	If no branch is specified and neither `-b` nor `-B` nor
	`--detach` is used, then `git worktree add` defaults to
	creating a new branch from HEAD.  If `worktree.guessRemote` is
	set to true, `worktree add` tries to find a remote-tracking
	branch whose name uniquely matches the new branch name.  If
	such a branch exists, it is checked out and set as "upstream"
	for the new branch.  If no such match can be found, it falls
	back to creating a new branch from the current HEAD.

worktree.useRelativePaths::
	Link worktrees using relative paths (when "true") or absolute
	paths (when "false"). This is particularly useful for setups
	where the repository and worktrees may be moved between
	different locations or environments. Defaults to "false".

Note that setting `worktree.useRelativePaths` to "true" implies enabling the
`extension.relativeWorktrees` config (see linkgit:git-config[1]),
thus making it incompatible with older versions of Git.
