Is it feasible to use Guile-Git here (given appropriate bindings)?

...because parsing git CLI output is error-prone and "ugly" (IMO).  But
not a strong opinion.

This is not great, because users (well, developers who run this script)
may have worktrees that are temporarily inaccessible (e.g. on a USB
drive or whatever).  Better to just leave the stale reference instead of
potentially destroying users worktrees.

Perhaps the script could 'git clone --maxdepth=1' instead of creating a
worktree?
