Here's a "mini-war" on file-type arguments being specified as OPT_STRING (in order to repent for doing so myself). 1/4 introduces OPT_PATH which is like OPT_FILENAME, but takes an additional argument which names the option argument. 2/4 converts OPT_STRING to OPT_FILENAME where it makes sense 3/4 converts OPT_STRING to OPT_PATH where it makes sense 4/4 converts OPT_FILENAME to OPT_PATH for "checkout --to" 1/4, 2/4 should apply on top of origin/next independently. 3/4 needs 1/4. 4/4 needs 1/4 and is on top of nd/multiple-worktrees.
