Please note that the string "worktree" mostly appears in code
(presumably as variable names) and in the names of options.  In text,
"working tree" is far more common than either:

$ git grep -i 'worktree' -- '*.txt' | wc -l
50
$ git grep -i 'working copy' -- '*.txt' | wc -l
6
$ git grep -i 'working tree' -- '*.txt' | wc -l
330
