https://github.com/Byron/gitoxide/tree/main/gix-worktree-state/src/checkout is likely the interface we need.
https://crates.io/crates/gix-worktree-state/reverse_dependencies has no direct dependencies, so we cant look for usage examples there.
https://crates.io/crates/gix/reverse_dependencies has 42 cases. There might be some sample code in those.
