Merge branch 'es/worktree-add'

Update to the "linked checkout" in 2.5.0-rc1.

Instead of "checkout --to" that does not do what "checkout"
normally does, move the functionality to "git worktree add".

-MULTIPLE WORKING TREES
-----------------------

-A git repository can support multiple working trees, allowing you to check

-tree is associated with the repository.  This new working tree is called a
-"linked working tree" as opposed to the "main working tree" prepared by "git
-init" or "git clone".  A repository has one main working tree (if it's not a
-bare repository) and zero or more linked working trees.

-Each linked working tree has a private sub-directory in the repository's

-the base name of the linked working tree's path, possibly appended with a
-number to make it unique.  For example, when `$GIT_DIR=/path/main/.git` the
-command `git checkout --to /path/other/test-next next` creates the linked
-working tree in `/path/other/test-next` and also creates a
-`$GIT_DIR/worktrees/test-next` directory (or `$GIT_DIR/worktrees/test-next1`
-if `test-next` is already taken).
-
-Within a linked working tree, $GIT_DIR is set to point to this private
-directory (e.g. `/path/main/.git/worktrees/test-next` in the example) and
-$GIT_COMMON_DIR is set to point back to the main working tree's $GIT_DIR
-(e.g. `/path/main/.git`). These settings are made in a `.git` file located at

-See linkgit:gitrepository-layout[5] for more information. The rule of

 DESCRIPTION

+Manage multiple worktrees attached to the same repository.
+
+A git repository can support multiple working trees, allowing you to check
+out more than one branch at a time.  With `git checkout --to` a new working
+tree is associated with the repository.  This new working tree is called a
+"linked working tree" as opposed to the "main working tree" prepared by "git
+init" or "git clone".  A repository has one main working tree (if it's not a
+bare repository) and zero or more linked working trees.
+
+When you are done with a linked working tree you can simply delete it.
+The working tree's administrative files in the repository (see
+"DETAILS" below) will eventually be removed automatically (see
+`gc.pruneworktreesexpire` in linkgit::git-config[1]), or you can run
+`git worktree prune` in the main or any linked working tree to
+clean up any stale administrative files.
+
+If you move a linked working directory to another file system, or
+within a file system that does not support hard links, you need to run
+at least one git command inside the linked working directory
+(e.g. `git status`) in order to update its administrative files in the
+repository so that they do not get automatically pruned.
+
+If a linked working tree is stored on a portable device or network share
+which is not always mounted, you can prevent its administrative files from
+being pruned by creating a file named 'lock' alongside the other
+administrative files, optionally containing a plain text reason that
+pruning should be suppressed. See section "DETAILS" for more information.
 
 COMMANDS
 --------
+add <path> [<branch>]::
+
+Create `<path>` and checkout `<branch>` into it. The new working directory
+is linked to the current repository, sharing everything except working
+directory specific files such as HEAD, index, etc.
++
+If `<branch>` is omitted and neither `-b` nor `-B` is used, then, as a
+convenience, a new branch based at HEAD is created automatically, as if
+`-b $(basename <path>)` was specified.
+
 prune::
 
 Prune working tree information in $GIT_DIR/worktrees.

 OPTIONS
 -------
 
+-f::

+-B <new-branch>::
+	With `add`, create a new branch named `<new-branch>` starting at

+	By default, `-b` refuses to create a new branch if it already
+	exists. `-B` overrides this safeguard, resetting `<new-branch>` to

+DETAILS
+-------
+Each linked working tree has a private sub-directory in the repository's
+$GIT_DIR/worktrees directory.  The private sub-directory's name is usually
+the base name of the linked working tree's path, possibly appended with a
+number to make it unique.  For example, when `$GIT_DIR=/path/main/.git` the
+command `git checkout --to /path/other/test-next next` creates the linked
+working tree in `/path/other/test-next` and also creates a
+`$GIT_DIR/worktrees/test-next` directory (or `$GIT_DIR/worktrees/test-next1`
+if `test-next` is already taken).
+
+Within a linked working tree, $GIT_DIR is set to point to this private
+directory (e.g. `/path/main/.git/worktrees/test-next` in the example) and
+$GIT_COMMON_DIR is set to point back to the main working tree's $GIT_DIR
+(e.g. `/path/main/.git`). These settings are made in a `.git` file located at
+the top directory of the linked working tree.
+
+Path resolution via `git rev-parse --git-path` uses either
+$GIT_DIR or $GIT_COMMON_DIR depending on the path. For example, in the
+linked working tree `git rev-parse --git-path HEAD` returns
+`/path/main/.git/worktrees/test-next/HEAD` (not
+`/path/other/test-next/.git/HEAD` or `/path/main/.git/HEAD`) while `git
+rev-parse --git-path refs/heads/master` uses
+$GIT_COMMON_DIR and returns `/path/main/.git/refs/heads/master`,
+since refs are shared across all working trees.
+
+See linkgit:gitrepository-layout[5] for more information. The rule of

+
+EXAMPLES
 --------
+You are in the middle of a refactoring session and your boss comes in and
+demands that you fix something immediately. You might typically use
+linkgit:git-stash[1] to store your changes away temporarily, however, your
+worktree is in such a state of disarray (with new, moved, and removed files,
+and other bits and pieces strewn around) that you don't want to risk
+disturbing any of it. Instead, you create a temporary linked worktree to
+make the emergency fix, remove it when done, and then resume your earlier
+refactoring session.
+
+------------
+$ git worktree add -b emergency-fix ../temp master
+$ pushd ../temp
+# ... hack hack hack ...
+$ git commit -a -m 'emergency fix for boss'
+$ popd
+$ rm -rf ../temp
+$ git worktree prune
+------------
+
+BUGS
+----
+Multiple checkout support for submodules is incomplete. It is NOT
+recommended to make multiple checkouts of a superproject.
+
+git-worktree could provide more automation for tasks currently
+performed manually, such as:
 
-linkgit:git-checkout[1]
+- `remove` to remove a linked worktree and its administrative files (and
+  warn if the worktree is dirty)
+- `mv` to move or rename a worktree and update its administrative files
+- `list` to list linked worktrees
+- `lock` to prevent automatic pruning of administrative files (for instance,
+  for a worktree on a portable device)
