Because branch name is not always available (e.g. detached HEAD) and
checkout branch can be switched later on. And normally you'll get
branch name there anyway with "git worktree add something" because the
branch "something" is automatically created. I've been wondering if
it's worth supporting "git worktree -b abc ./" where we create
worktree "./abc" based on branch name too.
