Related to that, would be whether the user was familiar with DVCS before
starting to use git, or even familiar with VCS - the answers would be different
for people for whom git is the first VCS they ever used, or for people having
used other DVCS before...

Count me in for "we have git new-worktree ?" :)
In fact, I found nothing by that name in git's tree or in the wiki's
InterfacesFrontendsAndTools.  Google finally pointed me to contrib/ where I
noticed workdir/git-new-workdir.

It may be worth to use a URL for publicizing non-mainstream stuff.  That's
better as publicizing goes, and makes it easy to crowdsource discovery of
mistakes or outdated things.
