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.

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.

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.

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".

The plan is to relocate "git checkout --to" functionality to "git
worktree add". As a first step, introduce a bare-bones git-worktree
"add" command along with documentation. At this stage, "git worktree
add" merely invokes "git checkout --to" behind the scenes, but an
upcoming patch will move the actual functionality
(checkout.c:prepare_linked_checkout() and its helpers) to worktree.c.

Due to the (current) absence of a "git worktree lock" command, locking
a worktree's administrative files to prevent automatic pruning is a
manual task, necessarily requiring low-level understanding of linked
worktree functionality. However, this level of detail does not belong
in the high-level DESCRIPTION section, so add a generalized discussion
of locking to DESCRIPTION and move the technical information to DETAILS.
