Btw, this part of archive-contents.el:

    (setq archive--use-worktree
          (list
           (ignore-errors
             (zerop (call-process "git" nil nil nil "worktree" "--help"))))))

is sub-optimal: on MS-Windows, Git help commands invoke the system Web
browser to show the HTML version of the docs, so the browser suddenly
pops up when this code runs.

I actually don't understand why --help is the best idea here; is there
something wrong with running "worktree list" instead?  I tested that
with Git v2.3.5, which doesn't support worktrees, and it exited with
non-zero code.
