By the way, there's an additional DWIM that could be done here instead of erroring out. Specifically, for "git worktree add ../topic": * If branch "topic" exists, check it out (rather than refusing to create a new branch named "topic"). * If origin/topic exists, DWIM local "topic" branch into existence. * Otherwise, create new local branch "topic". > * Creates a new branch named "topic" if no such local branch exists. > > The desired new DWIMing would change the second bullet point to: > > * If no local branch named "topic" exists, DWIM it from "origin/topic" > if possible, else create a new local branch named "topic".
