From: Derrick Stolee <[e-mail]>

It is helpful to distinguish between a 'working tree' and a 'worktree'.
A worktree contains a working tree plus additional metadata. This
metadata includes per-worktree refs and worktree-specific config.

This is the last of multiple changes to git-worktree.txt, starting at
the LIST OUTPUT FORMAT section.

The EXAMPLES section has an instance of "working tree" that must stay as
it is, because it is not talking about a worktree, but an example of why
a user might want to create a worktree.
