worktree add: extend DWIM to infer --orphan
Extend DWIM to try to infer `--orphan` when in an empty repository. i.e. a repository with an invalid/unborn HEAD, no local branches, and if `--guess-remote` is used then no remote branches. This behavior is equivalent to `git switch -c` or `git checkout -b` in an empty repository. Also warn the user (overriden with `-f`/`--force`) when they likely intend to checkout a remote branch to the worktree but have not yet fetched from the remote. i.e. when using `--guess-remote` and there is a remote but no local or remote refs. Current Behavior: % git --no-pager branch --list --remotes % git remote origin % git workree add ../main hint: If you meant to create a worktree containing a new orphan branch [...] hint: Disable this message with "git config advice.worktreeAddOrphan false" fatal: invalid reference: HEAD % git workree add --guess-remote ../main hint: If you meant to create a worktree containing a new orphan branch [...] hint: Disable this message with "git config advice.worktreeAddOrphan false" fatal: invalid reference: HEAD % git fetch --quiet % git --no-pager branch --list --remotes origin/HEAD -> origin/main origin/main % git workree add --guess-remote ../main Preparing worktree (new branch 'main') branch 'main' set up to track 'origin/main'.
