One issue I had with this text was that it was not immediately clear what the end-game UI of the feature was. Is "checkout --to" they way the user is expected to trigger this? It appears in the very early part of the multi-paragraph description and I suspect that the majority of the users would think that way, not with "worktree add" that appears a lot later.
