Description
### Feature summary
_No response_
### What problem are you trying to solve?
When I start a new session in a folder that has 40 repos (welcome to my world), It's really annoying to have to specify 40 branches, and toggle 40 worktree toggle's off. And even when they are off, it still creates worktrees.
### Proposed solution
Global setting to turn off all worktree related stuff. (this toggle should also leave the branches as they were)
### Workflow impact
This would massively help people who don't need worktrees.
### Installation context
_No response_
### Additional context
GitHub CoPilot Desktop app v1.0.25
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the app settings and the session setup path that creates worktrees across repositories. Confirm how per-repository worktree toggles and branch selection are applied. Done means a global setting disables worktree creation and leaves existing branches unchanged across all repositories.
