I'm a little late for this, but think it's better to comment late than
never.

After this patch, git rev-parse has two options relating to the working
tree:

	git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree
	git rev-parse --show-superproject-working-tree

Is this inconsistency necessary?  Now that there is a "git worktree"
command that allows making a second working tree for the same
repository, I would have thought we had standardized on work tree as
the name in UI.

Thoughts?
