I'll let this topic simmer on the list for now, instead of picking
it up immediately to 'pu', as Michael in $gmane/296068 makes me
wonder if we want to keep piling on the current "worktree ref
iterations are bolted on" or if we want to first clean it up, whose
natural fallout hopefully would eliminate the bug away.

Thanks.
