Add support for creating an orphan branch when adding a new worktree.
The functionality of this flag is equivalent to git switch's --orphan
option.
Current Behavior:
% git -C foo.git --no-pager branch -l
+ main
% git -C foo.git worktree add main/
Preparing worktree (new branch 'main')
HEAD is now at 6c93a75 a commit
%
% git init bar.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /path/to/bar.git/
% git -C bar.git --no-pager branch -l
% git -C bar.git worktree add main/
Preparing worktree (new branch 'main')
fatal: not a valid object name: 'HEAD'
