Subject: [PATCH v5 4/5] branch: rename orphan branches in any worktree

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

In cfaff3aac (branch -m: allow renaming a yet-unborn branch, 2020-12-13)
we added support for renaming an orphan branch when that branch is
checked out in the current worktree.

Let's also allow renaming an orphan branch checked out in a worktree
different than the current one.
