I'm not sure I agree with this distinction. "worktree" is just a
short name for "working tree".
Unfortunately gitglossary(7) doesn't make this clear at all --- it
uses the term worktree a few times (and appears to mean "working tree"
when it does --- e.g.
Pathspecs are used on the command line of [...] and many other
commands to limit the scope of operations to some subset of
the tree or worktree.
) but never defines it.

The patch itself looks good.
Thanks,
