When 'checkout --to' functionality was moved to 'worktree add', tests were adapted
in f194b1ef6e (tests: worktree: retrofit "checkout --to" tests for "worktree add",
2015-07-06).

The calls were changed to 'worktree add' in this test (then t7410), but the test
descriptions were not updated, keeping 'checkout' instead of using the new
terminology (linked worktrees).

Clarify the tests by using the right terminology. While at it, remove some unnecessary
leading directories such that all superproject worktrees are directly next to one
another in the trash directory.

The unanswered questions which popped into my head when reading the
"While at it..." include:

    Why is it desirable for the worktrees to live in this new location
    rather than their original locations?

    Is it safe to relocate the worktrees like this without losing some
    important aspect of the test?

    Why were the worktrees located as they were originally? Was there
    some hidden or not-so-obvious reason that we're overlooking? (I
    guess this is really the same as question #2.)

I thought it was desirable because the leading directories don’t serve any purpose apart from carrying information about what they are testing, which the worktree directory itself can do instead of all of them being called "main".

After analyzing the test to see what was being tested, making the change and making sure the test behaved the same way, I concluded that it was.

I don’t think there was a reason. The worktrees directories were structured that way since the test was introduced in df56607dff (git-common-dir: make "modules/" per-working-directory directory, 2014-11-30). Maybe one reason was for every superproject worktree to be in a directory called "main", just as every submodule is in a directory called "sub"…

I can explain more this reasoning in the commit message if necessary.

Philippe.

Yes, please.
