However, Calvin is also looking at how we could parallelize worktree updates to speed up "git clone --recurse-submodules", so the Google folks are taking an even bigger step back to figure out how worktree updating should look, which will probably end in a different approach from [1], but it should answer the questions on that thread about "git checkout" with branches.
