I wanted to just check for my understanding: the NULL usage of worktree in get_worktree_git_dir() caller, repo_git_pathv() callers and inside function add_reflogs_to_pending() is intentionally left unchanged for now, and is meant for a follow-up once this gets gets finalized. or it is out of scope wrt this cleanup?
