Same as with remote repositories, users need to set up per-worktree
overrides. Which can sucks a bit.

We could add a third config layer in ~/.got.conf which could sit between
per-worktree and per-repo configs in terms of priority. However, this
would need to use different syntax to allow for per-repository config
items. An implied repository scope cannot be inferred from this file's
location. So this would get confusing quickly.

Yes.

Good idea.
