I've recently started seeing a lot of this message when doing a rebase:
   warning: could not freshen shared index
'/home/ldiamand/git/dev_full/.git/worktrees/gcc8-take-2/sharedindex.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000'

(There's a repo called dev_full, and I've got a worktree where I'm working on my 3rd attempt to make it work with gcc8).

That file doesn't actually exist but there are a bunch of sharedindex.XXX files in there with more convincing looking names.
