When using git worktrees, each worktree redownloads its own copy of autoinstalled third-party Python packages (requests, packaging, etc.) to its local `Tools/Scripts/libraries/autoinstalled/` directory. This causes unnecessary network traffic and disk usage when working with multiple worktrees, as the same packages are redownloaded repeatedly.
