`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
`extensions.relativeWorktrees` config (see linkgit:git-config[1]),
thus making it incompatible with older versions of Git.
