Re: [PATCH v8 3/4] worktree add: add --orphan flag

I also think that UX suggestion is sensible, but if we do that we
shouldn't just apply that to "git worktree", but also change the the
corresponding "git switch" UX, on which this new "git worktree --orphan"
is modeled.

But the thing is that "worktree --orphan" that wants to implicitly
infer the name of the branch out of the basename of the worktree
cannot be sensibly modeled after "switch" or "checkout" that do not
have such a dwimmery.

In any case, fixing UI mistakes after the fact is always painful
once it is in the released version. When we know there is a new UI
mistake in an unreleased version, it is sensible to grab the rare
opportunity that we can avoid such a costly fixes later.

So, I am not quite convinced by what you said, at least not yet.

Thanks.
