## Message

```
Don't panic if worktree was dropped before sending path changes

In `refresh_entry`, we send a message to the `self.path_changes_tx` channel
to notify the background thread that a path has changed. However, given that
`refresh_entry` uses `spawn_weak`, the worktree could get dropped before sending
the message, which could cause a panic.

This commit changes the code to return an error instead of panicking.
