When calling `git init --separate-git-dir=<new-path>` on a preexisting
repository, then we move the Git directory of that repository to the new
path specified by the user. If there are worktrees present in the Git
repository, we need to repair the worktrees so that their gitlinks point
to the new location of the repository.
This repair logic will load repositories via `get_worktrees()`, which
will enumerate up and initialize all worktrees. Part of initialization
is logic that we resolve their respective worktree HEADs, even though
that information may not actually be needed in the end by all callers.
In the context of git-init(1) this is about to become a problem, because
we do not have a repository that was set up via `setup_git_directory()`
or friends. Consequentially, it is not yet fully initialized at the time
of calling `repair_worktrees()`, and properly setting up all parts of
the repository in `init_db()` before we repair worktrees is not an easy
thing to do. While this is okay right now where we only have a single
reference backend in Git, once we gain a second one we would be trying
to look up the worktree HEADs before we have figured out the reference
format, which does not work.
We do not require the worktree HEADs at all to repair worktrees. So
let's fix issue this by skipping over the step that reads them.
