Subject: [PATCH v5 5/5] branch: avoid unnecessary worktrees traversals

From: Rubén Justo <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2023 00:33:40 +0200

When we rename a branch ref, we need to update any worktree that have
its HEAD pointing to the branch ref being renamed, so to make it use the
new ref name.

If we know in advance that we're renaming a branch that is not currently
checked out in any worktree, we can skip this step entirely.  Let's do
it so.
