  * The way "git worktree add" determines what branch to create
from where and checkout in the new worktree has been updated a
bit.

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 :)

OK, I pulled and built this locally, and indeed the straightforward
"git worktree add <path> <branch>" works just as I'd hoped!  Nice!

I'll play with it more and let you know if I hit issues.
