Does this do anythng different from the git contrib script
git-new-workdir that I have been using for quite a long while?

I think it's basically a more formally supported version of the contrib
script.  They may have fixed some of the hackier aspects of the contrib
script --- I mind in particular the fact that you need to disable git's
auto-gc activity when you use git-new-workdir, but I don't see any such
restriction in the git-worktree man page.

Haven't tried to switch over myself, but maybe I will at some point.

One thing to be aware of that I discovered: you may not have 2 checkouts of the same branch, something that is possible with what's currently documented on the wiki. Since the only pain in the wiki workflow is setting up a new branch (which I've scripted, attached) I've pretty much given up on using worktrees.
