It also enhances `git worktree` documentation to emphasize that `git worktree add ` creates a new branch by default, and to discuss branch-based vs. throwaway worktrees, which may help newcomers avoid creating branches without realizing they are doing so, and later wondering why `git branch --list` shows branches they did not intentionally create. v2 adjusts the commit message of [2/3] to make it clearer[2] that it teaches `git worktree add` (not `git worktree`, in general) to recognized -d as shorthand for --detach.
