I dunno. The duality of refs/ci/config and refs/heads/ci-config is
weird. Your two refspecs overlap on their RHS, and once you push up the
refs/heads/ci-config you created with "git worktree add", they'll start
to conflict (which maybe is OK as long as they're the same).
In the patch I sent out a few hours ago I just caved and made
refs/heads/ci-config the magic ref, in order to avoid complexity.
But it also wouldn't be too bad to say "look, you can store this however
you like in refs/heads/ or not at all, but install it into place with
git push <remote> HEAD:refs/ci/config". The audience is git.git
developers (and even advanced ones whose workflows involve tweaking
their CI config), so I'd like to think they could figure it out.
I have a feeling that fewer than 5 people in the world will end up using
this feature either way. ;)
