There may be actual benefits of having source and output not to be mixed.
For example, it can be that one has a source on an read-only volume or
by a network filesystem. It's possible to say that cloning a Git repository
locally is the solution, but for some cases it might be too much.

And yes, I happily use `git worktree`. The difference with worktree and
output folder, that the output may be located on tmpfs or be removed w/o
much thinking of unfinished jobs or so.
