Not that it matters because I don't do Git anymore. But when I was doing this I imagined unify main and secondary worktrees. When you switch from single to multiple worktrees, there is no main worktree anymore. The place that is main worktree still has your files, but it has the same status and treatment as any other worktree. And the repo is tucked away somewhere safe.
