I've noticed that in some places in git.git, the term 'working copy' is
used. Mostly it's in git-cvsserver which I guess it's fine, but the
git-config man page talks about the 'working copy' in three places.

    $ git grep 'worktree' | wc -l
    412
    $ git grep 'working copy' | grep -v ^git-cvsserver |  wc -l
    32

Please note that the string "worktree" mostly appears in code
(presumably as variable names) and in the names of options.  In text,
"working tree" is far more common..

And probably the oldest. It was mentioned in the first version of git
glossary back in 2005, da13981, [PATCH] Add GIT glossary.
