I have always thought that we deliberately hid the "ID" from the end user's view because it is a mere implementation detail, and used the filesystem path of the worktree directory instead to identify each instance of the worktree in the end-user interaction. It is unclear why this change is a good idea from that point of view.

Thanks.
