+The Repo 2.4 release introduced support for [Git worktrees][git-worktree].
+You don't have to worry about or understand this particular feature, so don't
+worry if this section of the Git manual is particularly impenetrable.
+
+The salient point is that Git worktrees allow Repo to create repo client
+checkouts that do not require symlinks at all under Windows.
+This means users no longer need Administrator access to sync code.
+
+Simply use `--worktree` when running `repo init` to opt in.
+
+This does not effect specific Git repositories that use symlinks themselves.
