[PATCH 1/2] worktree: fix worktree add race.

From
Michal Suchanek <msuchanek@suse.de>
Date

Message-ID
<429046b2c9f02c5e4f0af88db51f6c0c099f08a9.1550254374.git.msuchanek@suse.de>

Git runs a stat loop to find a worktree name that's available and then does mkdir on the found name. Turn it to mkdir loop to avoid another invocation of worktree add finding the same free name and creating the directory first.
