I agree that any end-user facing subcommand like "git rebase", even
if it is not "git checkout", should refuse to work on and update a
branch that is checked out elsewhere.  Otherwise it will end up
causing confusion.

Thanks for a report.  The "multiple worktree" feature is still
highly experimental and those who are working on it would appreciate
your reporting issues with it.
