Since all these HEADs stay at the same (or close) location, if one
fails, I think the rest will fail too. Which leads to a series of
warnings if we continue anyway. A more interesting approach is update
HEADs in a transaction, so we successfully update all or we update
none. But I do not know if ref transactions can be used for HEAD,
especially worktree HEADs. I'm ok with either abort here or continue
anyway, though.
