From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@xxxxxxxxxx> It is helpful to distinguish between a 'working tree' and a 'worktree'. A worktree contains a working tree plus additional metadata. This metadata includes per-worktree refs and worktree-specific config. This is the last of multiple changes to git-worktree.txt, starting at the LIST OUTPUT FORMAT section. The EXAMPLES section has an instance of "working tree" that must stay as it is, because it is not talking about a worktree, but an example of why a user might want to create a worktree.
