A git repository can support multiple working trees, allowing you to check
out more than one branch at a time. With `git worktree add` a new working
tree is associated with the repository. This new working tree is called a
"linked working tree" as opposed to the "main working tree" prepared by "git
init" or "git clone". A repository has one main working tree (if it's not a

REFS
----
In multiple working trees, some refs may be shared between all working
trees, some refs are local. One example is HEAD is different for all
working trees. This section is about the sharing rules and how to access
trees and some refs are local. One example is `HEAD` which is different for each
working tree. This section is about the sharing rules and how to access
refs of one working tree from another.
In general, all pseudo refs are per working tree and all refs starting
with "refs/" are shared. Pseudo refs are ones like HEAD which are
directly under GIT_DIR instead of inside GIT_DIR/refs. There is one
exception to this: refs inside refs/bisect and refs/worktree is not
with `refs/` are shared. Pseudo refs are ones like `HEAD` which are
directly under `$GIT_DIR` instead of inside `$GIT_DIR/refs`. There are
exceptions, however: refs inside `refs/bisect` and `refs/worktree` are not
shared.
Refs that are per working tree can still be accessed from another
working tree via two special paths, main-worktree and worktrees. The
former gives access to per-worktree refs of the main working tree,
working tree via two special paths, `main-worktree` and `worktrees`. The
former gives access to per-working tree refs of the main working tree,
while the latter to all linked working trees.
For example, main-worktree/HEAD or main-worktree/refs/bisect/good
resolve to the same value as the main working tree's HEAD and
refs/bisect/good respectively. Similarly, worktrees/foo/HEAD or
worktrees/bar/refs/bisect/bad are the same as
GIT_COMMON_DIR/worktrees/foo/HEAD and
GIT_COMMON_DIR/worktrees/bar/refs/bisect/bad.
For example, `main-worktree/HEAD` or `main-worktree/refs/bisect/good`
resolve to the same value as the main working tree's `HEAD` and
`refs/bisect/good` respectively. Similarly, `worktrees/foo/HEAD` or
`worktrees/bar/refs/bisect/bad` are the same as
`$GIT_COMMON_DIR/worktrees/foo/HEAD` and
`$GIT_COMMON_DIR/worktrees/bar/refs/bisect/bad`.
