You do need to teach the reachability code to consider points that
are outside refs/ (HEAD and index, at least; I also recall there
were talks about per-worktree hierarchies in refs/?) as anchoring
objects to the non-prunable part of the history.

The prune/fsck reachability code already knows to consider objects
that are reachable only from the index as reachable, and I do not
think "rev-list --all" is used to enumerate them for safekeeping
(even when the worktree feature is not used).  The reachability code
that enumerates objects in the index and cache-tree needs to learn
to peek into sibling worktrees' private objects, I would think, and
I do not think the addition is a good match for rev-list.
