This is something we could do to improve the situation when a user manually moves a worktree and not follow the update process (we have had the first reported case [1]). Plus a bit cleanup in gc. I think this is something we should do until we somehow make the user aware that the worktree is broken as soon as they move a worktree manually. But there's some more work to get there.
