Does this include the enhancements published a few weeks ago to allow
worktrees to be created directly from remote branches without first
checking out the branch locally? I'm really looking forward to that
change...

Yes, this release will include that.  It would be awesome if you could
test the rc, now is the best time to scream if something about it is
not as you'd expect :)

Thanks!
