Currently, git-new-workdir doesn't allow you to rather duplicate your old workdir instead of creating a new one based on a branch. This can be annoying when you are used to carry untracked helper scripts in your workdir (e.g. test.sh).
Add a new option -s | --rsync to allow users to "sync" the new workdir.

Maybe we even want to stop after rsync'ing without doing the checkout -f. Opinions?
