Description

**Mood:** 😊
**Category:** Bugs

On Windows, the git worktree names can be long, exceeding the MAX_PATH which some tools ([cough, VS2022](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1666150/ms-visual-studio-2022-not-able-to-open-source-file)) will choke on even if you enable the long path registry change. It would be nice to be able to rename the worktree in the UI; additionally, maybe a warning that long paths can occur when you have a longer root path to store the worktrees in.
