 - sparse-checkout: use repo_config_set_worktree_gently()
 - config: add repo_config_set_worktree_gently()
 - worktree: add upgrade_to_worktree_config()
 - config: make some helpers repo-aware
 - setup: use a repository when upgrading format

 "git sparse-checkout" wants to work with per-worktree configration,
 but did not work well in a worktree attached to a bare repository.

 Expecting a redesign?

FWIW, this topic by itself passes its self test, but when queued
near the tip of 'seen', it seems to break t1091.

For an example run that fails on win+VS test (8), see
