Two more observations:

$ git worktree add /tmp/gitwt
Enter /tmp/gitwt (identifier gitwt)
Switched to a new branch 'gitwt'

Now I'm in /tmp/gitwt at branch gitwt. Right? No. I'm in the original wd
at the original branch.

So either we cd to the new location or quelch these messages or add a
message that we're actually back.

The other:

linked worktrees are prefect for short term tests on detached heads.
Even the manual page advertises detach. But:

$ git worktree add  --detach /tmp/gitwtt
Enter /tmp/gitwtt (identifier gitwtt)
fatal: '--detach' cannot be used with '-b/-B/--orphan'

Maybe it's the auto-naming logic stepping on detached toes ;)
