Nit: this function seems to use "goto out" a bit too much for me. What
about something like:
int get_worktree_names(struct repository *repo, struct strvec *out)
{
    int ret = 0;
    char *worktrees_dir = repo_git_path(repo, "worktrees");
    DIR *dir = opendir(worktrees_dir);
    if (dir) {
        struct dirent *d;
        while ((d = readdir_skip_dot_and_dotdot(dir)) != NULL)
            strvec_push(out, d->d_name);
        closedir(dir);
    } else {
        if (errno != ENOENT)
            ret = -1;
    }
    free(worktrees_dir);
    return ret;
}
?
