080739b (worktree.c: find_worktree() search by path suffix -

specifying 'project0/foo', 'project1/foo'... Granted it's not fun to
type all that when 'project0/foo' is something long, and bash
completion probably does not help much either.

So with this I'll be able to create new worktrees, using paths having
the same basename, but in different let's say "project directories"?

Note that we may need a unique name elsewhere too, e.g.
refs/worktrees/xyz (even though we haven't settled on this yet). Then
xyz would be more exposed to the user and an easily recognizable name
would be a good thing.

Having a recognisable name surely is a good thing, when performing some
(rare) manual operations. Like moving a worktree (or is there a command
for this?)

Thanks,
