With the introduction of "git worktree add", "git checkout --to" is
slated for removal. Therefore, retrofit linked worktree creation tests
to use "git worktree add" instead.
(The test to check exclusivity of "checkout --to" and "checkout <paths>"
is dropped altogether since it becomes meaningless with retirement of
"checkout --to".)

One of git-worktree's roles is to populate the new worktree, much like
git-checkout, and thus, for convenience, ought to support several of the
same shortcuts. Toward this goal, add -b/-B options to create a new
branch and check it out in the new worktree.
(For brevity, only -b is mentioned in the synopsis; -B is omitted.)

The plan is to relocate "git checkout --to" functionality to "git

upcoming patch will move the actual functionality
(checkout.c:prepare_linked_checkout() and its helpers) to worktree.c.

The plan is to relocate "git checkout --to" functionality to "git

git-worktree won't have at hand. It will, however, have access to its
own command-line from which it can pick up the branch name. Therefore,
as a preparatory step, rather than having prepare_linked_checkout()
perform this check, make it the caller's responsibility.

Given "git checkout --to <path> HEAD~1", the new worktree's HEAD should
begin life at the current branch's HEAD~1, however, it actually ends up
at HEAD~2. This happens because:
1. git-checkout resolves HEAD~1
2. to satisfy is_git_directory(), prepare_linked_worktree() creates
a HEAD for the new worktree with the value of the resolved HEAD~1
3. git-checkout re-invokes itself with the same arguments within the
new worktree to populate the worktree
4. the sub git-checkout resolves HEAD~1 relative to its own HEAD,
which is the resolved HEAD~1 from the original invocation,
resulting unexpectedly and incorrectly in HEAD~2 (relative to the
original)
Fix this by unconditionally assigning the current worktree's HEAD as the
value of the new worktree's HEAD.
As a side-effect, this change also eliminates a dependence within
prepare_linked_checkout() upon 'struct branch_info'. The plan is to
eventually relocate "git checkout --to" functionality to "git worktree
add", and worktree.c won't have knowledge of 'struct branch_info', so
removal of this dependency is a step toward that goal.

`git prune --worktrees` was pruning worktrees which were non-existent OR
expired, while it rather should prune those which are orphaned AND
expired, as git-checkout documentation describes. Fix it.
Add test 'not prune proper checkouts', which uses valid but expired

Modify test 'not prune recent checkouts' to remove the worktree before
pruning - link in worktrees still must survive. In older form it is

The goal seems to be using multiple checkouts to reduce disk space.
But we have not reached an agreement how things should be. There are a
couple options.
- You may want to keep $SUB repos elsewhere (perhaps in a central
place) outside $SUPER. This is also true for nested submodules
where a superproject may be a submodule of another superproject.
- You may want to keep all $SUB repos in $SUPER/modules (or some
other place in $SUPER)
- We could even push it further and merge all $SUB repos into $SUPER
instead of storing them separately. But that would at least require
ref namespace enabled.
On top of that, git-submodule.sh expects $GIT_DIR/config to be
per-worktree, at least for the submodule.* part. Here I think we have
two options, either update config.c to also read
$GIT_DIR/config.worktree (which is per worktree) in addition to
$GIT_DIR/config (shared) and store worktree-specific vars in the new
place, or update git-submodule.sh to read/write submodule.* directly
from $GIT_DIR/config.submodule (per worktree).
These take time to address properly. Meanwhile, make a note to the
user that they should not use multiple worktrees in submodule context.

Each working directory of main repository has its own working directory
of submodule, and in most cases they should be checked out to different
revisions. So they should be separated.
It looks logical to make submodule instances in different working
directories to reuse the submodule directory in the common dir of
the main repository, and probably this is how "checkout --to" should
initialize them called on the main repository, but they also should work
fine being completely separated clones.
Testfile t7410-submodule-checkout-to.sh demostrates the behavior.

For normal use cases, it does not make sense for 'checkout' to work on
a bare repository, without a worktree. But "checkout --to" is an
exception because it _creates_ a new worktree. Allow this option to
run on bare repositories.
People who check out from a bare repository should remember that
core.logallrefupdates is off by default and it should be turned back
on. `--to` cannot do this automatically behind the user's back because
some user may deliberately want no reflog.
For people interested in repository setup/discovery code,
is_bare_repository_cfg (aka "core.bare") is unchanged by this patch,
which means 'true' by default for bare repos. Fortunately when we get
the repo through a linked checkout, is_bare_repository_cfg is never
used. So all is still good.

Currently git_path("info/sparse-checkout") resolves to
$GIT_COMMON_DIR/info/sparse-checkout in multiple worktree mode. It
makes more sense for the sparse checkout patterns to be per worktree,
so you can have multiple checkouts with different parts of the tree.
With this, "git checkout --to <new>" on a sparse checkout will create
<new> as a full checkout. Which is expected, it's how a new checkout
is made. The user can reshape the worktree afterwards.

This variable is intended to support multiple working directories
attached to a repository. Such a repository may have a main working
directory, created by either "git init" or "git clone" and one or more
linked working directories. These working directories and the main
repository share the same repository directory.
In linked working directories, $GIT_COMMON_DIR must be defined to point
to the real repository directory and $GIT_DIR points to an unused
subdirectory inside $GIT_COMMON_DIR. File locations inside the
repository are reorganized from the linked worktree view point:
- worktree-specific such as HEAD, logs/HEAD, index, other top-level
refs and unrecognized files are from $GIT_DIR.
- the rest like objects, refs, info, hooks, packed-refs, shallow...
are from $GIT_COMMON_DIR (except info/sparse-checkout, but that's
a separate patch)
Scripts are supposed to retrieve paths in $GIT_DIR with "git rev-parse
--git-path", which will take care of "$GIT_DIR vs $GIT_COMMON_DIR"
business.
The redirection is done by git_path(), git_pathdup() and
strbuf_git_path(). The selected list of paths goes to $GIT_COMMON_DIR,
not the other way around in case a developer adds a new
worktree-specific file and it's accidentally promoted to be shared
across repositories (this includes unknown files added by third party
commands)
The list of known files that belong to $GIT_DIR are:
ADD_EDIT.patch BISECT_ANCESTORS_OK BISECT_EXPECTED_REV BISECT_LOG
BISECT_NAMES CHERRY_PICK_HEAD COMMIT_MSG FETCH_HEAD HEAD MERGE_HEAD
MERGE_MODE MERGE_RR NOTES_EDITMSG NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE ORIG_HEAD
REVERT_HEAD SQUASH_MSG TAG_EDITMSG fast_import_crash_* logs/HEAD
next-index-* rebase-apply rebase-merge rsync-refs-* sequencer/*

Path mapping is NOT done for git_path_submodule(). Multi-checkouts are
not supported as submodules.
