I'll commit with the latter half of the above message rewritten like this: However, 'git worktree add -b <new-branch> <path> <branch>' can still DWIM <branch>, causing <new-branch> to be ignored. This is a regression introduced by 128e5496b3 (worktree add: extend DWIM to infer --orphan, 2023-05-17), which appeared in Git 2.42. As we refer to an individual commit using "log -1 --pretty=reference" format. > Signed-off-by: Yoichi NAKAYAMA <[email protected]> > --- > worktree add: shouldn't dwim if -b or -B is given The change looks good to me.
