I think it's basically a more formally supported version of the contrib
script. They may have fixed some of the hackier aspects of the contrib
script --- I mind in particular the fact that you need to disable git's
auto-gc activity when you use git-new-workdir, but I don't see any such
restriction in the git-worktree man page.
Haven't tried to switch over myself, but maybe I will at some point.
