This fprintf_ln() can easily fit on one line; no need to wrap
'refname' to the next one.
Not worth a re-roll, though.

Looking at this more closely, once it stops being a "don't clobber
precious branch" test, it's doing more than it needs to do, thus is
confusing for future readers. The setup -- creating two commits and
making "precious" point one commit back -- was very intentional and
allowed the test to verify not only that the worktree wasn't created
but that "precious" didn't change to reference a different commit.
However, _none_ of this matters once it becomes a dwim'ing test; the
unnecessary code is confusing since it doesn't make sense in the
context of dwim'ing. I _think_ the entire test can collapse to:
git branch existing &&
git worktree add existing &&
(
cd existing &&
test_cmp_rev existing HEAD
)
In other words, this patch should drop the "precious" test altogether
and just introduce a new dwim'ing test (and drop patch 6/6).
I do think that with the potential confusion to future readers, this
does deserve a re-roll.
