Hello Duy,
thanks for your answer.
Your assumption is correct: when renaming the directory apparently I have not
adjusted /git/A/.git/worktrees/B/gitdir to the new location.
I fixed the situation by renaming /git/B to /git/B.bak, creating a new worktree
pointing to /git/B (with branch g), then deleting /git/B and moving /git/B.bak
to /git/B .
Consider adjusting the documentation as suggested below, possibly using a
different wording.
Regards
Дилян

As far as I know, there isn't any code in Git which would
automatically remove the .git/worktrees/B directory, so it's not clear
how that happened.
"git worktree prune" does, which is called by "git gc" and that was
actually executed from the command output in the original mail.
Дилян Палаузов did you move /git/B away manually? For example, you
originally created "B" with
git worktree add /somewhere/B g
then you do this at some point
mv /somewhere/B /git/B
