This patch series modifies Git's handling of worktree linking to use
relative paths instead of absolute paths. The motivation behind this
change is to enhance the robustness of worktree links when the main
repository is moved, or when used in environments like containerized
development where absolute paths differ across systems.
Unfortunately, these patches are whitespace-damaged. Can you please
resubmit using either `git send-email` or GitGitGadget[1]?
Also, since you're touching infer_backlink(), see [1] which makes some
changes nearby.

And you might be interested in [2] which may indicate that there are
some holes in the tests around worktrees which might need filling.
(Since your patches are whitespace-damaged, I haven't checked whether
your series succeeds or fails in the way the series to which [2] is a
response fails.)
