Subject: [PATCH 6/7] Revert "Documentation: always respect core.worktree if set"

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2010 21:20:47 +0700

This reverts commit f5e025a9d5b35e24768475f6890b836ce0d5ed15.

The commit reflected what the code did. But the code did that because
it had bugs.
