Well, if worktree created by "git clone/init" is not superior compared
to that created by "git worktree", just different, then "main" might be
not the best choice, but then, provided it's already in use, it's
probably not that big deal either.

As a note, "primary" also suggests the rest are "secondary", and then
"primary" one might not be there in the first place, leaving us with a
set of "secondary" without "primary", that is a bit confusing.

"Embedded", "integrated", or even "default" come to mind as
alternatives. However, if "attached" is decided upon, "inline" just
follows naturally.
