Speaking of "git worktree new --force", should we revisit "git
checkout --ignore-other-worktrees" before it gets set in stone? In
particular, I'm wondering if it makes sense to overload git-checkout's
existing --force option to encompass the functionality of
--ignore-other-worktrees as well. I don't think there would be any
semantic conflict by overloading --force, and I do think that --force
is more discoverable and more intuitive.
