OK. "git worktree add -b <name-of-branch> <path>" is how you create
a worktree and have it on a named branch. And instead of saying -b,
you would say --orphan. This sounds like a fairly easy-to-understand
parallel to how "git checkout [-b/-B/--orphan] name-of-branch" takes
its parameters.

The comments on "$@" (vs "$*") in an earlier step equally applies here.
