Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue. What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) run `git worktree add <path> <branch>`, where <branch> is an already checked-out branch What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) fail to create worktree What happened instead? (Actual behavior) worktree was not created, but a confusing message was printed: "Preparing worktree (checking out '<branch>')" What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? The printed message seems to indicate that the command was a success, when in fact it was not Anything else you want to add: Please review the rest of the bug report below.
