My worktree breakages are usually the result of my reorganizing my projects,
usually because a branch changes name (for example, if branch release-1 gets
pushed back to release-2). Then I go and rename all my directories and git 
gets unhappy and I have to manually fix them or re-create the worktrees.

Having `git worktree list` give the worktree directory would be very useful,
but I still would like the ability to change the name of a worktree.
