I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here. It should be one
daemon per worktree, I think. And as far as I know, it is.
Socket paths must be short (less than 104 chars on Mac). That's why I
do the weird symlink-to-tmpdir thing.

Yep, thanks.

It is somewhat slower to wait for the daemon (which requires a disk
load + a memcpy) than it is to just load it ourselves (which is just a
disk load).
