There are a few other cases of ambiguity in this enumerated list, as
well, and the need for `s/main worktree is bare/repository is bare/`,
however, if you end up restructuring this series the to follow the
recipe Elijah set forth at the bottom of [1], then most of this
patch's commit message will be rewritten anyhow, so my mention of
these minor issues will be moot.
