Callers don't expect library function find_worktree() to die(); they expect it to return the named worktree if found, or NULL if not. Although find_worktree() itself never invokes die(), it calls real_pathdup() with 'die_on_error' incorrectly set to 'true', thus will die() indirectly if the user-provided path is not to real_pathdup()'s liking. This can be observed, for instance, with any git-worktree command which searches for an existing worktree: $ git worktree unlock foo fatal: 'foo' is not a working tree $ git worktree unlock foo/bar fatal: Invalid path '.../foo': No such file or directory The first error message is the expected one from "git worktree unlock" not finding the specified worktree; the second is from find_worktree() invoking real_pathdup() incorrectly and die()ing prematurely. Aside from the inconsistent error message between the two cases, this bug hasn't otherwise been a serious problem since existing callers all die() anyhow when the worktree can't be found. However, that may not be true of callers added in the future, so fix find_worktree() to avoid die()ing.
