But does it convey the more important point?  The reason why "HEAD
WAS at" may matter is because the user is about to lose history
leading to it.  I wonder if we want to be more direct and alarming,
e.g.

    $ git checkout -
    About to lose history leading to 2efe05c commit-a
    HEAD is now at 7906992 commit-b

Whichever phrasing you end up using, I think the order of messages
should be made consistent between the two cases.  That is,

Here "git checkout" reports the lost HEAD and then the end result.

But here "git worktree add" reports the end resultfirst and then
reports the lost HEAD.  It probably should report them in reverse.

Thanks.
