| checkout.defaultRemote:: |
| When you run 'git checkout <something>' and only have one |
| remote, it may implicitly fall back on checking out and |
| tracking e.g. 'origin/<something>'. This stops working as soon |
| as you have more than one remote with a '<something>' |
| reference. This setting allows for setting the name of a |
| preferred remote that should always win when it comes to |
| disambiguation. The typical use-case is to set this to |
| `origin`. |
| + |
| Currently this is used by linkgit:git-checkout[1] when 'git checkout |
| <something>' will checkout the '<something>' branch on another remote, |
| and by linkgit:git-worktree[1] when 'git worktree add' refers to a |
| remote branch. This setting might be used for other checkout-like |
| commands or functionality in the future. |
| |
| checkout.optimizeNewBranch:: |
| Optimizes the performance of "git checkout -b <new_branch>" when |
| using sparse-checkout. When set to true, git will not update the |
| repo based on the current sparse-checkout settings. This means it |
| will not update the skip-worktree bit in the index nor add/remove |
| files in the working directory to reflect the current sparse checkout |
| settings nor will it show the local changes. |
