Interesting.

Can you please describe in a little more detail the new behavior?

It may be obvious, but not to me, but what should we say in these cases:

  - 'git [-C <custom_worktree>] status'
  - 'git [-C <main-worktree>] status'
  - 'git [-C <custom_worktree>] branch --list -v -v'
  - 'git [-C <main_worktree> branch] --list -v -v'
  - ...

I'm sure there are others that I'm missing.  If you could explore and
describe them, perhaps with sketches, it would be a great help.

Thanks.
