Using multiple worktree with the same repo won't work in git because
the repo also have worktree-related information. But you can create a
central, bare repository, then make several clones from that. Each one
is checked out with different branches. You work on a clone and push
to the central repo. The post-commit hook in the central repo will do
pull from it, for example

for site in dir1 dir2 dir3; do
    cd /var/www/$site && /usr/bin/git pull
done

Also have a look at git-new-workdir in contrib directory of git
repository. I don't use it but you might find it useful.
