Such a change to git-worktree.txt could be done, though I think it's outside the scope of this patch since "With ...," is not nearly so confusing in the context of git-worktree.txt given that the reader _knows_ that he/she is reading (exclusively) about "git worktree". Also, almost all of the options in git-worktree.txt are phrased "With ...,", so such a change would be more all-encompassing.
