From: Yoichi NAKAYAMA <[email protected]> git worktree add <path> <branch> DWIMs <branch> to a remote-tracking branch when neither -b, -B, nor --detach is given. However, git worktree add -b <new-branch> <path> <branch> can still DWIM <branch>, causing <new-branch> to be ignored. This is a regression introduced in v2.42.0 (128e5496b325640f0a09cc1d5b1e346c069b410f).
