I used to use it, but since Mercurial’s local clones are much more
convenient than git’s (and use hardlinks, so they take little extra
space), I usually skip it nowadays.

At work I stopped with git worktrees again, because they had too many
edge cases which broke my tools. Not being able to commit from magit
because I’m in a worktree is a showstopper (that should not happen with
share, because that’s better integrated).

Best wishes,
Arne
