Hi, I'd like to create a single worktree where files from multiple Git repositories (or refs) coexist side-by-side (no subfolder separation), but each with repository still independently tracked by Git.
I've accomplished something similar to this with a gitignore-everything policy and sparse checkout (non-cone mode, very important!). It's janky: I use GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE to force the selection of which git repository, and I have to use 'git add -f' everywhere. If you need something that works today, this may be a workaround. It does not allow for your "default override" based on layer priority, instead it is very file-by-file specific. As an aside, what you are describing sounds somewhat like a use-case for ostree, which I know very little about. Best, Antonio
