And explained that way, it becomes clearer that you would want to
name $HOME/xyzzy-1/frotz worktree after "topic-1", not the default
name you would get "frotz" (because the default gives you the leaf
level name of the newly created worktree).

After the discussion above (which may or may not match what you
raised this topic for), I think a feature to let you override the
default name makes sense.

One thing which hasn't been explained, and about which I'm still
confused even after reading this thread in its entirety, is what
Barret means when he says that he "breaks" his worktrees. What is the
nature of this breakage? Depending upon that answer, would "git
rev-parse --git-dir" be sufficient for your needs? Or, would "git
worktree list" be able to give you the desired information? (As
envisioned, "git worktree list" was intended to provide much more
information than it currently does, such as the .git/worktree dir
name, and such an enhancement might be welcome.)
