Tools that record worktree paths can keep their state up to date when a worktree is added or removed, but the mapping becomes stale when the worktree is moved. Services or other per-worktree state tied to the old path may also need to be relocated.
Introduce a post-worktree-move hook that runs after the working tree and its administrative files have been moved. The hook runs inside the new working tree with GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE cleared and receives the old absolute path as its sole argument. The new path and worktree identifier can be queried by running git from the hook's working directory.
This signature also lets one configured command handle all three worktree lifecycle hooks by argument count: post-worktree-add takes no arguments, post-worktree-move takes one, and post-worktree-remove takes two.
A failing hook does not undo the completed move, but its exit status becomes the exit status of "git worktree move".
