shouldn't we rely on the plumbing output, not porcelin? You're conflating two different meanings of "porcelain" here. In git's terminology: - **Porcelain** = human-facing, unstable format (e.g. `git status` default output) - **Plumbing** = machine-parseable, stable format But `git worktree list --porcelain` is the **machine-stable** format despite the confusing flag name. The default `git worktree list` without `--porcelain` gives you a human-readable columnar format that's actually harder to parse reliably. From the git docs: > If `--porcelain` is used or the output is not a terminal, output in an easy-to-parse format for scripts. This format will remain stable across Git versions and regardless of user configuration. So `--porcelain` here *is* the plumbing-style output. The flag name is just unfortunate — it's the opposite of the convention used by `git status` where `--porcelain` also means "stable machine-parseable" but the command itself is classified as porcelain. The code is using the right flag. There is no separate plumbing command for worktree listing.
