In order to more clearly display which branches are active, the output
of git branch is modified to colorize branches checked out in any linked
worktrees with the same color as the current branch.
This is meant to simplify workflows related to worktree, particularly
due to the limitations of not being able to check out the same branch in
two worktrees and the inability to delete a branch checked out in a
worktree. When performing branch operations like checkout and delete, it
would be useful to know more readily if the branches in which the user
is interested are already checked out in a worktree.
The git worktree list command contains the relevant information, however
this is a much less frquently used command than git branch.
