The documentation for 'git apply' uses both the terms "work tree" and "working tree". Since the glossary uses the term "working tree", change all occurrences of "work tree" to "working tree".

Junio wrote that he personally would vote for changing
it the other way around starting from the glossary.

"Work tree" feels fine for me (and is shorter than "working tree"), but I am not a native speaker.
