Documentation: always respect core.worktree if set

Browse Source 
The value of core.worktree in a ".git/config" is honored even when it
differs from the directory that has the ".git" directory as its
subdirectory.  This is likely to be a misconfiguration, so warn users
about it.  Also, drop the part of the documentation that incorrectly
claimed that we ignore such a misconfigured value.

core.worktree::
Set the path to the working tree. The value will not be
used in combination with repositories found automatically in
a .git directory (i.e. $GIT_DIR is not set).
Set the path to the root of the work tree.
This can be overridden by the GIT_WORK_TREE environment
variable and the '--work-tree' command line option. It can be
a absolute path or relative path to the directory specified by
--git-dir or GIT_DIR.
Note: If --git-dir or GIT_DIR are specified but none of
an absolute path or a relative path to the .git directory,
either specified by --git-dir or GIT_DIR, or automatically

If --git-dir or GIT_DIR are specified but none of

of your working tree.

Note that this variable is honored even when set in a configuration
file in a ".git" subdirectory of a directory, and its value differs
from the latter directory (e.g. "/path/to/.git/config" has
core.worktree set to "/different/path"), which is most likely a
misconfiguration. Running git commands in "/path/to" directory will
still use "/different/path" as the root of the work tree and can cause
great confusion to the users.
