Hmm, is this related to an earlier discussion

    https://public-inbox.org/git/20160625051548.95564-1-barret%40brennie.ca/

in any way, or is it an independent invention?

The conclusion of that discussion thread was roughly "users
shouldn't even _care_ about the name, and if they have to use name
to identify the worktrees to do certain things right now, reducing
the need for such 'certain things', not making it easy to give a
user-defined name to a worktree, is the way to go", IIRC.
