This command allows to delete a worktree. Like 'move' you cannot
remove the main worktree, or one with submodules inside [1].
For deleting $GIT_WORK_TREE, Untracked files or any staged entries are
considered precious and therefore prevent removal by default. Ignored
files are not precious.
When it comes to deleting $GIT_DIR, there's no "clean" check because
there should not be any valuable data in there, except:
- HEAD reflog. There is nothing we can do about this until somebody
steps up and implements the ref graveyard.
- Detached HEAD. Technically it can still be recovered. Although it
may be nice to warn about orphan commits like 'git checkout' does.
[1] We do 'git status' with --ignore-submodules=all for safety
anyway. But this needs a closer look by submodule people before we
can allow deletion. For example, if a submodule is totally clean,
but its repo not absorbed to the main .git dir, then deleting
worktree also deletes the valuable .submodule repo too.
