Re: [PATCH] worktree: add: introduce the --name option

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>

Adds a --name option allowing to specify the name of a worktree when
creating it. This allows to have multiple worktrees in directories
having the same name (e.g. project0/foo, project1/foo etc...). This
commit keeps the previous behaviour by making it the default value, i.e.
by using $(basename <path>) as the worktree name when the --name option
isn't used.

Two new test cases are added to ensure the --name option does not break
other functionalities and is working properly.

Finally, the documentation is updated to reflect this --name option
addition.

Hmm, is this related to an earlier discussion

    https://public-inbox.org/git/20160625051548.95564-1-barret%40brennie.ca/

in any way, or is it an independent invention?

The conclusion of that discussion thread was roughly "users
shouldn't even _care_ about the name, and if they have to use name
to identify the worktrees to do certain things right now, reducing
the need for such 'certain things', not making it easy to give a
user-defined name to a worktree, is the way to go", IIRC.
