Re: [PATCH v7 1/3] ref-filter: add worktreepath atom

Well, it sounded like we didn't like the ":" extender from another
conversation on this thread. Do you think this patch should move back
in that direction?

There's been a little back and forth on it, but my understanding is
that using the colon separator bypasses the caching mechanism in the
atoms, so every instance of "worktree:path" in a format string would
require a lookup.

Would that be a problem, though?  You now have a singleton hashmap
that is a file-scope global not tied to any particular atom, so...?
