git fsck says:

git worktree automatically prunes work trees:

"The working tree’s administrative files in the repository (see
"DETAILS" below) will eventually be removed automatically (see
gc.worktreePruneExpire in git-config(1)),"

In my case I didn't actually want them removed, but fortunately
there's nothing important in them (there certainly isn't anymore...).

It doesn't seem to help.

$ git worktree prune -n
<lists lots of unhappy trees>
$ git worktree prune
$ git fetch

$ /usr/bin/git-2.7.3 fetch
