To gain access to the core repository's config and config.worktree file,
we reference a repository struct's 'commondir' member. If the repository
was a submodule instead of a worktree, then this still applies
correctly.

In [1], I suggested that you should be using `repository->gitdir`
rather than `repository->commondir` to access the `.git/config` file.
Is the above paragraph saying that my suggestion was incorrect? Or is
it incorrect only in the case of submodules? Or what is it saying?

Specifically, in [1], I said that `common_config_file` should be using
`r->gitdir` (and that the use of `r->commondir` was correct for
`main_worktree_file`).

Since you agree that "{r->commondir}/config.worktree" is the main
worktree's config file, then "{r->commondir}/config" should be the
repo-wide config file. If r->commondir and r->gitdir are different,
then using r->gitdir would be wrong, as far as I understand it.

Indeed, tracing these two values when run in a worktree, I see:

  gitdir: /home/stolee/_git/git/.git/worktrees/git-upstream
  commondir: /home/stolee/_git/git/.git

So we definitely want commondir here.

Rather than `return 0`, should this be `goto cleanup`...

Right, or move the 'if' to before the configset is initialized. The
goto is simple enough.
