git version 2.10.2.windows.1: If a remote branch has never been checked out locally (its ref only exists in remotes/<remote>/ directory), "git worktree add" command is unable to check it out by its normal short name (not prefixed by remotes/<remote>), while "git checkout" command has been able to handle such a branch and properly convert it to a local branch.
