Although 1eb07d8 (worktree: add: auto-vivify new branch when
<branch> is omitted, 2015-07-06) updated the documentation when
<branch> became optional, it neglected to update the in-code
usage message. Fix this oversight.

'git worktree list' iterates through the worktree list, and outputs
details of the worktree including the path to the worktree, the currently
checked out revision and branch, and if the work tree is bare. There is
also porcelain format option available.

Recent reimplementation of "git am" changed the format of state
files kept in $GIT_DIR/rebase-apply/ without meaning to do so,
primarily because write_file() API was cumbersome to use and it was
easy to mistakenly make text files with incomplete lines. Update
write_file() interface to make it harder to misuse.
* jc/am-state-fix:
write_file(): drop caller-supplied LF from calls to create a one-liner file
write_file_v(): do not leave incomplete line at the end
write_file(): drop "fatal" parameter
builtin/am: make sure state files are text
builtin/am: introduce write_state_*() helper functions
All of the callsites covered by this change call write_file() or
write_file_gently() to create a one-liner file. Drop the caller
supplied LF and let these callees to append it as necessary.

All callers except three passed 1 for the "fatal" parameter to ask
this function to die upon error, but to a casual reader of the code,
it was not all obvious what that 1 meant. Instead, split the
function into two based on a common write_file_v() that takes the
flag, introduce write_file_gently() as a new way to attempt creating
a file without dying on error, and make three callers to call it.

The "new-worktree-mode" hack in "checkout" that was added in
nd/multiple-work-trees topic has been removed by updating the
implementation of new "worktree add".

worktree: avoid resolving HEAD unnecessarily

Now that git-worktree handles all functionality (--force, --detach,
-b/-B) previously delegated to git-checkout, actual population of the
new worktree can be accomplished more directly and lightweight with
"git reset --hard" in place of "git checkout".

Now that git-worktree sets HEAD explicitly to its final value via either
git-symbolic-ref or git-update-ref, rather than relying upon
git-checkout to do so, the "hack" for pacifying is_git_directory() with
a temporary HEAD, though still necessary, can be simplified.
Since the real HEAD is now populated with its proper final value, the
value of the temporary HEAD truly no longer matters, and any value which
looks like an object ID is good enough to satisfy is_git_directory().
Therefore, just set the temporary HEAD to a literal value rather than
going through the effort of resolving the current branch's HEAD.

git-worktree currently conflates setting of HEAD in the new worktree and
initial worktree population into a single git-checkout invocation which
requires git-checkout to have special knowledge that it is operating on
a newly created worktree. The eventual goal is to rid git-checkout of
that overly-intimate knowledge.
Once these operations are separate, git-worktree will no longer be able
to delegate to git-branch the setting of the new worktree's HEAD to the
desired branch (or commit, if detached). Therefore, make git-worktree
itself responsible for setting up HEAD as either a symbolic reference,
if associated with a branch, or detached, if not.

branch name or detached state locally, and to perform error checking on
its own.

The caller of add_worktree() provides it with a command to invoke to
populate the new worktree. This was a useful abstraction during the
conversion of "git checkout --to" functionality to "git worktree add"
since git-checkout and git-worktree constructed the population command
differently. However, now that "git checkout --to" has been retired, and
add_worktree() has access to the options given to "worktree add", this
extra indirection is no longer useful and makes the code a bit
convoluted.
Moreover, the eventual goal is for git-worktree to make setting of HEAD
and worktree population distinct operations, whereas they are currently
conflated into a single git-checkout invocation. As such, add_worktree()
will eventually invoke other commands in addition to the worktree
population command, so it will be doing command construction itself
anyhow.
Therefore, relocate construction of the worktree population command from
add() to add_worktree().

Take advantage of 'struct child_process.env' to make it obvious that
environment variables set by add_worktree() are intended specifically
for sub-commands it invokes to operate in the new worktree.
We assign a local 'struct argv_array' to child_process.env, rather than
utilizing the child_process.env_array 'struct argv_array', because
future patches will make add_worktree() invoke additional sub-commands,
and it's simpler to populate the environment array just once, whereas
child_process.env_array gets cleared after each invocation, thus would
require re-population for each sub-command.

git-worktree currently conflates branch creation, setting of HEAD in the
new worktree, and worktree population into a single sub-invocation of
git-checkout, which requires git-checkout to be specially aware that it
is operating in a newly-created worktree. The goal is to free
git-checkout of that special knowledge, and to do so, git-worktree will
eventually perform those operations separately. Thus, as a first step,
rather than piggybacking on git-checkout's -b/-B ability to create a new
branch at checkout time, make git-worktree responsible for branch
creation itself.

Make 'new_branch' be the name of the new branch for both forced and

When git-worktree creates a new worktree, it reports:
Enter "<path>" (identifier <tag>)
which misleadingly implies that it is setting <path> as the working
directory (as if "cd <path>" had been invoked), whereas it's actually
preparing the new worktree by creating its administrative files, setting
HEAD, and populating it. Make this more clear by instead saying:

This reverts commit 0d1a151783.
When trying to switch to a different branch, that happens to be
checked out in another working tree, the user shouldn't have to
give up the other safety measures (like protecting the local changes
that overlap the difference between the branches) while defeating
the "no two checkouts of the same branch" safety.

As a safeguard, checking out a branch already checked out by a different
worktree is disallowed. This behavior can be overridden with
--ignore-other-worktrees, however, this option is neither obvious nor
particularly discoverable. As a common safeguard override, --force is
more likely to come to mind. Therefore, overload it to also suppress the
check for a branch already checked out elsewhere.

As a convenience, when <branch> is omitted from "git worktree <path>
<branch>" and neither -b nor -B is 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".
