worktree.rs

1//! Git worktree operations implemented with plain `git worktree` commands.
2//!
3//! Worktrees give each coding agent an isolated working directory that shares
4//! the main repository's object database. DevFlow places them under
5//! `<project_root>/.worktrees/` so they are easy to find and clean up.
