"into-workingtree" suggests to me that it is submodule specific, so I'll base my response on that assumption. Would there ever be a situation where you already have submodule repositories in the right place (according to the more modern practice, to keep them in .git/modules/ of superproject) and want to move them to embed them in worktrees of submodules? I do not think of any. If there is no such situation, I do not think we want a verb that is direction-neutral (e.g. "move" or "relocate") with two options. Rather we would want "git submodule unembed-git-dir" or something like that.
