This command allows to delete a worktree. Like 'move' you cannot
remove the main worktree, or one with submodules inside [1].
For deleting $GIT_WORK_TREE, Untracked files or any staged entries are
considered precious and therefore prevent removal by default. Ignored
files are not precious.
When it comes to deleting $GIT_DIR, there's no "clean" check because
there should not be any valuable data in there, except:
- HEAD reflog. There is nothing we can do about this until somebody
steps up and implements the ref graveyard.
- Detached HEAD. Technically it can still be recovered. Although it
may be nice to warn about orphan commits like 'git checkout' does.
[1] We do 'git status' with --ignore-submodules=all for safety
anyway. But this needs a closer look by submodule people before we
can allow deletion. For example, if a submodule is totally clean,
but its repo not absorbed to the main .git dir, then deleting
worktree also deletes the valuable .submodule repo too.

Submodules contains .git files with relative paths. After a worktree
move, these files need to be updated or they may point to nowhere.
This is a bandage patch to make sure "worktree move" don't break
people's worktrees by accident. When .git file update code is in
place, this validate_no_submodules() could be removed.

This command allows to relocate linked worktrees. Main worktree cannot
(yet) be moved.
There are two options to move the main worktree, but both have
complications, so it's not implemented yet. Anyway the options are:
- convert the main worktree to a linked one and move it away, leave
the git repository where it is. The repo essentially becomes bare
after this move.
- move the repository with the main worktree. The tricky part is make
sure all file descriptors to the repository are closed, or it may
fail on Windows.

Some users might want to have the --guess-remote option introduced in
the previous commit on by default, so they don't have to type it out
every time they create a new worktree.
Add a config option worktree.guessRemote that allows users to configure
the default behaviour for themselves.

Currently 'git worktree add <path>' creates a new branch named after the
basename of the <path>, that matches the HEAD of whichever worktree we
were on when calling "git worktree add <path>".
It's sometimes useful to have 'git worktree add <path> behave more like
the dwim machinery in 'git checkout <new-branch>', i.e. check if the new
branch name, derived from the basename of the <path>, uniquely matches
the branch name of a remote-tracking branch, and if so check out that
branch and set the upstream to the remote-tracking branch.
Add a new --guess-remote option that enables exactly that behaviour.

Currently 'git worktree add <path> <branch>', errors out when 'branch'
is not a local branch. It has no additional dwim'ing features that one
might expect.
Make it behave more like 'git checkout <branch>' when the branch doesn't
exist locally, but a remote tracking branch uniquely matches the desired
branch name, i.e. create a new branch from the remote tracking branch
and set the upstream to the remote tracking branch.
As 'git worktree add' currently just dies in this situation, there are
no backwards compatibility worries when introducing this feature.

Currently 'git worktree add' sets up tracking branches if '<branch>' is
a remote tracking branch, and doesn't set them up otherwise, as is the
default for 'git branch'.
This may or may not be what the user wants. Allow overriding this
behaviour with a --[no-]track flag that gets passed through to 'git
branch'.
We already respect branch.autoSetupMerge, as 'git worktree' just calls
'git branch' internally.

Currently 'git worktree add' is documented to take an optional <branch>
argument, which is checked out in the new worktree. However it is more
generally possible to use a commit-ish as the optional argument, and
check that out into the new worktree.
Document that this is a possibility, as new users of git worktree add
might find it helpful.

As explained in the document. This option has an advantage over the
command sequence "git worktree add && git worktree lock": there will be
no gap that somebody can accidentally "prune" the new worktree (or soon,
explicitly "worktree remove" it).
"worktree add" does keep a lock on while it's preparing the worktree.
If --lock is specified, this lock remains after the worktree is created.

"git worktree prune" protected worktrees that are marked as
"locked" by creating a file in a known location. "git worktree"
command learned a dedicated command pair to create and remove such
a file, so that the users do not have to do this with editor.
* nd/worktree-lock:
worktree.c: find_worktree() search by path suffix
worktree: add "unlock" command
worktree: add "lock" command
worktree.c: add is_worktree_locked()
worktree.c: add is_main_worktree()
worktree.c: add find_worktree()
This allows the user to do something like "worktree lock foo" or
"worktree lock to/foo" instead of "worktree lock /long/path/to/foo" if
it's unambiguous.
With completion support it could be quite convenient. While this base
name search can be done in the same worktree iteration loop, the code is
split into a separate function for clarity.

Further preparatory clean-up for "worktree" feature continues.
* nd/worktree-cleanup-post-head-protection:
worktree: simplify prefixing paths
worktree: avoid 0{40}, too many zeroes, hard to read
worktree.c: use is_dot_or_dotdot()
git-worktree.txt: keep subcommand listing in alphabetical order
worktree.c: rewrite mark_current_worktree() to avoid strbuf
completion: support git-worktree
Since `git worktree add` uses `git checkout` when `[<branch>]` is used,
and `git checkout -` is already supported, it makes sense to allow the
same shortcut in `git worktree add`.

The current update_linked_gitdir() has a bug that can create "gitdir"
file in non-multi-worktree setup. Worse, sometimes it can write relative
path to "gitdir" file, which will not work (e.g. "git worktree list"
will display the worktree's location incorrectly)
Instead of fixing this, we step back a bit. The original design was
probably not well thought out. For now, if the user manually moves a
worktree, they have to fix up "gitdir" file manually or the worktree
will get pruned.
