Subject: [PATCH] worktree add: shouldn't dwim if -b or -B is given
Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2026 14:00:31 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2192.git.1785852032626.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Yoichi NAKAYAMA <yoichi.nakayama@gmail.com>

'git worktree add <path> <branch>' DWIMs <branch> to a
remote-tracking branch when neither -b, -B, nor --detach
is given.

However, 'git worktree add -b <new-branch> <path> <branch>' can
still DWIM <branch>, causing <new-branch> to be ignored.

This is a regression introduced in v2.42.0
(128e5496b325640f0a09cc1d5b1e346c069b410f).
