As explained in the document. This option has an advantage over the
command sequence "git worktree add && git worktree lock": there will be
no gap that somebody can accidentally "prune" the new worktree (or soon,
explicitly "worktree remove" it).

"worktree add" does keep a lock on while it's preparing the worktree.
If --lock is specified, this lock remains after the worktree is created.

 A patch that adds --lock may look like this.

This looks more like "I do believe the idea by David is a useful
addition and here is how I did it to the best of my ability---let's
make sure we polish it for eventual inclusion" than a mere "it may
look like so---do whatever you want with it" patch.

It is a good addition, which is why I added tests and documents, so it
may have a chance for inclusion. I would not strongly defend it though
if there's objection.

To me "git worktree add --lock" somehow sounds less correct than
"git worktree add --locked", but I'd appreciate if natives can
correct me.

That was my first choice too. Then I saw --detach (instead of
--detached). I didn't care much and went with a verb like the rest.
