As a convenience, when <branch> is omitted from "git worktree <path>
<branch>" and neither -b nor -B used, automatically create a new branch
named after <path>, as if "-b $(basename <path>)" was specified. Thus,
"git worktree add ../hotfix" creates a new branch named "hotfix" and
associates it with new worktree "../hotfix".

COMMANDS
--------
-add <path> <branch>::
+add <path> [<branch>]::
Check out `<branch>` into a separate working directory, `<path>`, creating
`<path>` if necessary. The new working directory is linked to the current
repository, sharing everything except working directory specific files
such as HEAD, index, etc. If `<path>` already exists, it must be empty.
++
+If `<branch>` is omitted and neither `-b` nor `-B` used, then, as a
+convenience, a new branch rooted at HEAD is created automatically, as if
+`-b $(basename <path>)` was specified.
