Re: [PATCH] tests: rename work-tree tests to *work-tree*

That is rather unfortunate.  Most of them predate the "worktree"
subcommand, I think, and having to rename them merely because a
subcommand with a confusing name appeared sound somewhat backwards.

The question is: What ist the way forward?

Probably many.  Take this as-is is one, rename newer ones that are
about worktree subcommand to "s/worktree/worktree-cmd/" would be
another.

I was looking for a proper place for a "git worktree" test and got
confused by the status quo. My suggestion is one way to help that
confusion, but I'd be happy to learn other ways. "grep" is an answer, too.

Maybe it's also time to admit that the numbering and naming scheme in t/
don't scale and that we should rather support other means of navigating
t/, such as standardizing a comment boiler plate in each test or such.

Yeah, test_description at the beginning of each test may have been a
well meaning attempt, but it is not helping us very much.

In fact, giving up on the numbering scheme would allow to regroup tests
more easily because there would be no room constraint any more (within a
fixed finite set of numbers).

I tend to agree that may be an easier way forward in the longer
term.

Thanks.
