While I think that --unpack-unreachable thing is a symptom of the
basic approach of patching things up at the wrong level, if you are
hinting that fix to the issue that gc does not pay attention to
various anchoring point in other worktrees is more important than
adding new commands to "worktree", I fully agree with that.  

We have a basic structure of "worktree" working well enough to allow
adventurous folks to experiment (there is a reason why we keep
calling it experimental).  mv and other additions are primarily to
make things _easier_ to use, but we shouldn't be encouraging its use
to general public by making it easier for them to hurt themselves,
if we know there still are sharp edges.

Thanks for bringing it up.
