When I suggested the --porcelain option for "git worktree list" and provided an example of its proposed output, the idea all along was that the "worktree" line itself would indicate start-of-stanza. A blank line between records is superfluous and unnecessary. Unfortunately, by the time the implementation was posted with blank line as stanza separator, I was not around to contest it, and it ended up in a release, after which point it was too late to change it. So, the tl;dr is that this documentation update agrees with the original intention as I envisioned it (although I wouldn't be sad to see the mention of "blank line" dropped altogether, but that's perhaps a separate battle).
