Thanks for the links, I've had a look at the discussion. The problem
that raised it was a bit different: it was about reorganizing projects
and directory trees, no about creating a new worktree with the same
basename as an existing one. I've also had a look at 080739b,
introducing find_worktree(), but I don't think that would solve the
issue either.

So we've left with two solutions: being able to specify the worktree
name or having an arbitrary ID (plus some modifications to `git worktree
list`) as you proposed. I guess you prefer the later solution. Is there
any plan to do this, or anything in progress?

Thanks,

-- 
Antoine
