While working with the worktree based git workflow, I realised that setting up a new git repository required switching between the traditional and worktree based workflows. Searching online I found a SO answer [1] which seemed to support this and which indicated that adding support for this should not be technically difficult.
Note: This is my first patchset for git so please let me know if there's anything I should do differently to improve contributions in the future.
This patchset has three parts:
* adding `-B` to the usage docs (noticed during dev and it seemed too small
to justify a separate submission)
* switching from `git reset --hard` to `git checkout` for worktree checkout
* adding orphan branch functionality (as is present in `git-checkout`)
to `git-worktree-add`1. https://stackoverflow.com/a/68717229/15064705
Jacob Abel (4): worktree add: Include -B in usage docs builtin/worktree.c: Update checkout_worktree() to use git-worktree worktree add: add --orphan flag worktree add: Add unit tests for --orphan
