+LIST OUTPUT FORMAT
+------------------
+The worktree list command has two output formats.  The default format shows the
+details on a single line with columns.  For example:
+
+------------
+S git worktree list
+/path/to/bare-source            (bare)
+/path/to/linked-worktree        abcd1234 [master]
+/path/to/other-linked-worktree  1234abc  (detached HEAD)
+------------
+
+Porcelain Format
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The porcelain format has a line per attribute.  Attributes are listed with a
+label and value separated by a single space.  Boolean attributes (like 'bare'
+and 'detached') are listed as a label only, and are only present if and only
+if the value is true.  An empty line indicates the end of a worktree.  For
+example:
+
+------------
+S git worktree list --porcelain
+worktree /path/to/bare-source
+bare
+
+worktree /path/to/linked-worktree
+HEAD abcd1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd1234
