Seeing this use worktree->id to construct "worktrees/<id>/<refname>"
makes me wonder how the user is going to know the ID of a worktree in
order to specify such refs in the first place. For example, how is the
user going to know the <id> in "git rev-parse worktrees/<id>/HEAD"? I
don't think we print the worktree ID anywhere, do we? Certainly, "git
worktree list" doesn't show it, and "git worktree add" stopped showing
it as of 2c27002a0a (worktree: improve message when creating a new
worktree, 2018-04-24).

If you re-roll, perhaps: s/may/will/
