[PATCH 0/1] Introduce a way to create a branch and worktree at the same time

[Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>]

The invention of the `git worktree` command changed this developer's
working style dramatically. Rather than switching between branches all
the time, topic branches are created and checked out in newly-added
worktrees, to be reworked and refined until the topic branch is either
merged into `master` or abandoned.

It gets rather tiresome, and also typo-prone, to call "git branch xyz
upstream/master && git worktree add xyz xyz" all the time. Hence this
proposal: "git branch -w xyz upstream/master" to do the same.

The plan is to also support "git branch -d -w xyz" once the `git
worktree` command learned a `remove` (or `delete`) subcommand.

One possible improvement would be to add "/xyz/" to the parent
repository's .git/info/exclude, but this developer hesitates to
introduce that feature without the "delete" counterpart: those exclude
entries would likely go stale very quickly. Besides, there might be a
plan in the working to exclude worktrees automagically?

  branch: allow conveniently adding new worktrees for new branches
